Responsible governance
Our goal as a designer and manufacturer of electronic equipment for the Pro AV industry is to achieve success in the marketplace while meeting our responsibilities to be a good corporate citizen. To accomplish this, Kramer follows the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA, formerly EICC®) Code of Conduct, the highest standard in business management systems. The RBA Code of Conduct covers labor practices, health and safety requirements, environmental protection, and ethical standards.
Kramer ethics
Beyond following internationally recognized standards of conduct, we have our own Code of Conduct in place, which includes a commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity in all business interactions.
Business integrity
All information about Kramer’s business activities, structure, financial situation, and performance is disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Kramer’s business dealings are accurately reflected on the record as required by applicable laws, regulations and accounting rules. Falsification of records or misrepresentations of conditions or practices in the supply chain are unacceptable. Monitoring and enforcement procedures are implemented to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws.
Fair business
Kramer upholds applicable standards of fair business, advertising and competition.
Improper advantage
We have a zero-tolerance policy prohibiting any and all forms of bribery, corruption, extortion, and embezzlement (including promising, offering, giving, or accepting bribes).
Intellectual property
We respect intellectual property rights. The transfer of technology and know-how within our operations is done in a manner that protects intellectual property rights in accordance with the agreement of all parties involved.
Privacy
We are committed to complying with applicable privacy and information security laws and regulations when personal information is collected, stored, processed, transmitted, and/or shared. This includes the personal information of suppliers, customers, consumers, and employees with whom we do business.
Non-retaliation
Should an issue arise, Kramer has a communicated process for personnel to raise any concerns without fear of retaliation.
Labor practices
Kramer complies with local laws and trade agreements in every territory it conducts its business. Moreover, we are committed to upholding the human rights of workers as understood by the international community, while treating every worker with dignity and respect.
- Diversity – Kramer is an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome all people regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, veteran, or [dis]ability status to be a part of our team. We have policies in place to ensure non-discriminatory hiring and compensation.
- Supply chain – Our supply chains include workers, subcontractors, and vendors that are subject to conditions that may result in violations of basic rights such as forced labor. Kramer has taken it upon itself to combat human trafficking and will not engage in any business relationship with subcontractors that engage in such practices.
Conflict Minerals
Kramer cares deeply about its responsibility as a global corporate citizen. With operations spanning six continents and more than 90 countries, we are acutely aware of the impact our activities can have on diverse regions and populations around the world, both directly and indirectly. With that responsibility in mind, we have implemented an internal due diligence program based on the Responsible Business Alliance. You can read more about our program and the RBA here.
We are committed
At Kramer, it’s not just what we do that defines our success, it’s how we do it.
