Corporate Governance

Integrity, compliance and transparency as the basis for sustainable growth and partnership-based cooperation.

For LÄPPLE Automotive, good corporate governance is not a compulsory program, but a conviction we live by. Our goal: to create trust through clear structures, transparent decisions and a value-based culture - both internally and externally.

As a supplier to the automotive industry, we at LÄPPLE Automotive rely on an effective corporate governance system. It combines ethical principles with entrepreneurial foresight - and forms the foundation for sustainable growth.

Clear. Fair. Reliable.

Responsibility with attitude

As part of a strong group of companies with clear governance, we act on the basis of a long-term code of values. The management is responsible for the strategic direction, while independent committees monitor compliance with objectives, guidelines and legal requirements. This is how we create stability - even in times of change.

Integrity, responsibility and fairness characterize our actions. We promote a culture in which ethical conduct, open dialog and constructive feedback are a matter of course. Managers provide orientation and actively exemplify our values.

How we act

Compliance - acting legally and ethically

Legal compliance is a matter of course for us. Our compliance system includes binding guidelines, regular training and internal control mechanisms. In this way, we ensure that all employees - from production to management - act in accordance with applicable law and our ethical standards.

  • Code of Conduct for employees and business partners
  • Regular compliance training
  • Anonymous whistleblower systems

Risk management with vision

Responsible corporate management must recognize risks at an early stage and actively manage them.

Our integrated risk management system continuously analyzes strategic, operational and regulatory risks - and thus creates the basis for well-founded decisions in a dynamic industry. Our regular risk analyses identify and evaluate risks in production and the supply chain - in order to prevent them in the best-case scenario. We combine qualitative and quantitative methods using AI-supported software (heatmap, alert and peer score). The results flow into strategic decisions.

Data protection

For us, the protection of personal data is more than just a legal obligation - it is an expression of responsibility and appreciation towards all the people with whom we work. We have defined and implemented fundamental measures to achieve this.

  • Appointment of a company-wide data protection officer
  • Confidential and secure handling of customer, partner and employee data
  • Transparent information about data subject rights such as access, rectification or erasure
  • Protection against data breaches through modern IT security measures and clear processes - rapid response to incidents

Our common denominator
