Management Systems
The HGK Group uses various management systems to control and further develop its structures and processes, to comply with standards and laws and to recognise and avert risks. It thus also fulfils the special responsibility that is borne by public companies such as Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG. The systems increase the transparency of business activities and can thus contribute to a continuous improvement of the structures and processes within HGK.
Quality Management
HGK has been certified in accordance with the European quality management standard ISO 9001 since July 1998 and passes regular re-audits.
In August 2021 the services for railway companies (EVU) and port operations, procurement and personnel management, the rail vehicle workshop, the rail network operation and maintenance as well as the signalling departments were all successfully re-audited.
HGK signed up to the Public Corporate Governance Code (PCGK) of the City of Cologne from June 2020. The resulting disclosures and documents to be published can be viewed here.
This information is only available in German.
The public image of Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG and its subsidiary and affiliate companies is determined to a significant extent by the appearance, actions and conduct of its employees and all other representative persons. Compliance with legal regulations and company guidelines as well as the fight against corruption are of great importance. As part of the introduction of a Group compliance organisation in the Stadtwerke Köln Group, a whistleblower management system has also been set up.
This procedure serves to protect the persons providing information and to ensure transparency and appropriateness of the whistleblowing process. This system is aimed at both employees of HGK Group companies and external parties.
