We take the allegations very seriously. The business practices described in the article are unacceptable to us. The commitment to a conduct of integrity and fair competition in markets across the world are part of our basic values and integral to the identity of the Liebherr group. Our business partners, customers and employees as well as the public and media rightly demand information on these proceedings.
