Privately engaging in any kind of financial or business involvement (i.e., outside Bosch) with competitors, suppliers, or customers may impair the interests of Bosch.

The same applies to engaging in or influencing the business relationship with companies in which we, our spouse or partner, or close family members have an ownership, share-holding interest, or perform an executive function, if we act on behalf of Bosch. So these engagements and shareholdings are only allowed in case a conflict of interest or its appearance is excluded.

Secondary employments may also impair the interest of Bosch. If the secondary employment interferes with our work duties or may be seen as a conflict of interest, the secondary activity may be prohibited.
