Anti-corruption
In the realm of Adaptive Recognition, we recognize the critical importance of combating corruption, bribery, and unethical behavior in our industry and markets. These practices undermine fair competition, hinder innovation, and infringe upon the rights of individuals and communities.
As a global company, we understand that the reach of our business and value chains extends far beyond our immediate surroundings. It is crucial for us to remain vigilant, even in markets with low corruption rates, as our operations may involve subcontractors in regions with different challenges.
At Adaptive Recognition, we embrace the growing demand for transparency in value chains and applaud legislative efforts aimed at curbing corruption, bribery, and unethical conduct. We firmly believe that upholding the highest standards of integrity is not only a legal obligation but also an ethical imperative. By fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior, we contribute to a fair and sustainable business environment that benefits all stakeholders involved.
Human Rights & Labor Rights
Respecting the dignity and rights of every individual is an integral part of our sustainability approach. At Adaptive Recognition, we prioritize the promotion and protection of human rights, particularly within our supply chain. We are unwavering in our commitment to adhere to internationally recognized human rights standards, vehemently opposing any form of slavery, forced labor, child labor, human trafficking, or exploitation within our own operations and across our supply chain.
Furthermore, we hold our suppliers to the same high standards, expecting them to comply with and respect internationally recognized human rights principles outlined in the International Charter on Human Rights and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. To ensure accountability, we have established codes of conduct for both our sales partners and suppliers, which clearly define the requirements and obligations in accordance with applicable national and international laws, regulations, and standards. At Adaptive Recognition, we stand firmly committed to upholding human rights as an essential pillar of our responsible business practices.
Culture of Compliance
Ensuring our employees’ understanding of compliance-related matters and promoting ethical conduct are paramount to us. We provide face-to-face events to enhance their awareness of preventing corruption, antitrust law, and the significance of practicing due diligence in their daily responsibilities.
Similarly, our Code of Conduct for suppliers incorporates human rights considerations. To foster transparency and accountability, we have established a confidential whistleblowing system accessible for everyone. This mechanism enables the reporting of any serious violations, ensuring their proper investigation and resolution.
Responsible Mineral Procurement
we recognize the potential impact of mineral sourcing from unstable regions on human rights and conflicts. In alignment with our corporate policy, legal obligations, and international standards, we are committed to conducting due diligence for the procurement of minerals, particularly from conflict or high-risk areas.
Our purchasing processes include mandatory requirements for suppliers to ensure responsible mineral procurement and product sourcing. By integrating human rights considerations, conflict avoidance, and support for sustainable development into our supply chain practices, we strive to make responsible choices that align with our commitment to upholding human rights and promoting global stability.
Responsible Procurement
At Adaptive Recognition, we recognize the crucial role our suppliers play in shaping the value, sustainability, and environmental impact of our products. Our procurement processes prioritize the global, timely delivery of goods and services that meet the highest quality standards, while aligning with our ethical, ecological, and social principles.
Through a comprehensive supplier management system, we cultivate long-term partnerships with our suppliers, viewing them as integral partners in our value chain. In addition to evaluating their performance in safety, health, and social standards, we place great emphasis on their compliance with human rights, fair business practices, sustainability standards, and environmental protection.
Our globally binding Code of Conduct serves as the foundation for our contractual relationships with suppliers, regardless of the procurement volume.

Our reputation as a technology leader hinges on the exceptional quality of our products and solutions. We understand that delivering above-average quality is not only expected but essential in satisfying our customers worldwide. To ensure excellence, we have implemented robust quality assurance measures, encompassing process optimization, international quality standards, occupational safety, and environmental protection initiatives.
As part of our quality management practices, we continuously strive for process optimization and standardization, fostering ongoing dialogue with our customers. Through certifications and customer satisfaction analyses, we gauge our performance and identify areas for improvement. Adaptive Recognition adheres to the ISO 9001 quality management standard, demonstrating our commitment to meet and exceed customer expectations.
