Integrity & Compliance
Our principles
In its over 70 years of existence, Porsche Holding Salzburg has built up an excellent reputation. Social responsibility and high ethical standards have made Porsche Holding what it is today: the largest and most successful European automotive distributor.
As a company with operations around the globe, compliance at Porsche Holding means that employees not only abide by current law but also adhere to a set of moral principles that go beyond merely observing the law. These principles have been set down in the company’s own Code of Conduct [PDF]. Naturally they apply to all levels of the Group and to all countries where Porsche Holding operates.
Strong values
Porsche Holding is committed to observing all laws and internal regulations and to acting as a responsible business partner and member of our society. This of course includes our steadfast commitment to correct principles and policies.
Porsche Holding has therefore identified four pairs of values that characterise our corporate culture: Entrepreneurship & Responsibility, Appreciation & Togetherness, Pragmatism & Professionalism and Integrity & Compliance. These values characterise the collaboration and conscientiousness exhibited within the company. You can find out more about our corporate values here:
Sustainability powered by people

What is compliance?
Compliance means observing all applicable laws, regulations and internal rules. Compliance defines the legal framework and aims at preventing infringements before they happen.
What is integrity?
Integrity means doing the right thing on the basis of one’s own personal conviction – acting responsibly for the company, for business partners and as a member of our society.
Binding standards
Integrity and compliance are not merely traits our company aspires to – we consider integrity and compliance to be essential components of our corporate culture.
Conduct with integrity and compliance is not only a standard that we set for our company – we also consider integrity and compliance to be an integral part of our corporate culture.
For this reason, integrity and compliance have also been anchored in Porsche Holding's sustainability strategy in the focus area of "Governance" since 2023. Our vision is strong and clear governance structures to drive environmental and social action.
The focus area is designed to optimise sustainability issues across disciplines and to live binding standards with integrity and compliance as the core of corporate action and decision-making principles. In this way, the activities of numerous departments will be linked even more closely with each other and topics ranging from integrity and compliance to risk management, internal auditing, legal department, data protection and information security will be combined under the umbrella of sustainability.
Further information can be found in the Sustainability Report, Focus Area 7 "Governance".
