Compliance at SWM companies
The corporate culture of Stadtwerke München is characterised by partnership, reliability, and responsibility. We base our actions on high ethical and legal standards. Correct, responsible behaviour and integrity are key prerequisites for our business success.
To ensure compliance, i.e. adherence to statutory regulations as well as internal corporate policies, we have established a comprehensive compliance management system. Our Code of Conduct, our Policy Statement and our Business Partner Code of Conduct contain binding regulations that support our employees in acting correctly.
Responsibility for Munich
„Our services are an essential base for people’s daily lives and the success of businesses in Munich and the surrounding region. We work on solutions to major challenges of our time and assume responsibility for people, resources and the environment. Responsible behaviour and integrity are key prerequisites for our business success.“
Dr. Florian Bieberbach
Chief Executive Officer
Right attitude, right action.
Whistleblowing system
We have set a system for whistleblowers that both our employees and third parties can use to report violations of laws and rules.
For information on violations of laws, especially economic crimes (e.g. fraud, corruption, embezzlement) and reports relating to violations of human rights (e.g. discrimination, violations of occupational safety measures, child or forced labour) or environmental damages, you can contact one of the following contact persons confidentially - and anonymously if you wish.
We ask for your understanding that this whistleblowing system cannot accept, process or forward customer complaints (e.g. regarding product or service quality). In this case, please contact the SWM customer service

Information for business partners
The SWM companies commit themselves to unqualified compliance with legal requirements and value-oriented corporate governance in all contractual relationships and actions with and towards their business partners.
Our Business Partner Code of Conduct
In the Business Partner Code of Conduct, the SWM companies define the most important principles for legally correct, responsible and ethical behaviour that we require of business partners.
These include, among other things, the observance of human rights, in particular the respect of regulations on occupational health and safety, an ecological responsibility, and the avoidance of corruption. The principles of the Business Partner Code of Conduct are the essential basis for the cooperation as partners.
Due diligence process
We expect our business partners to:
- carry out their business activities with integrity and responsibility and comply with all applicable laws and regulations, especially those arising from criminal, anti-corruption, data protection, competition, anti-trust, money-laundering and environmental law as well as human rights,
- make suitable arrangements to ensure compliance with the principles laid down in this Code of Conduct and
- make efforts and seek to ensure that the principles are also complied with by their own business partners, especially third parties used by them for the fulfilment of contracts with the SWM companies.
The SWM companies commit themselves to comply with these principles and regard them as indispensable for successful business relationships.
The SWM companies therefore reserve the right to carry out a risk-based review of business partners to identify compliance risks (business partner due diligence). This also includes checking business partners against sanctions lists to ensure compliance with legal prohibitions on provision.
