Securing the long-term success of the company
True to the three-pillar model of sustainability, the Corporate Governance field of action focuses on areas that secure the long-term economic success of the company: Compliance Management, Quality Management and Investment in Innovation.
Compliance Management
Regarding NOVOMATIC, our understanding of a “Compliance Management System” includes several aspects which clearly also include an ethical dimension related to morals and corporate values. We want to behave correctly - not just in terms of ensuring that we do not violate applicable law. Our objective is to ensure that our employees also comply with certain moral concepts which our company holds. Bullying or discrimination, for example, is obviously prohibited through internal guidelines as well as legal stipulations. An own sense of wrongdoing and an individual’s personal attitude towards legally compliant and ethically correct behavior, however, is far more effective than pure regulations or the threat of punishment.
We foster this compliance mindset through several measures. On the one hand, each employee is given a copy of our Code of Conduct when they start working here. This sets out certain patterns of behavior and directives, e.g. regarding money laundering prevention, data protection and conduct.
In addition to this, training courses on special topics in the area of Compliance Management are held on a regular basis, primarily to inform and raise awareness of specific issues, as well as to highlight disciplinary consequences.

The corporate culture of the NOVOMATIC AG Group is based in particular on the standards of the Code of Conduct and lives the principle of "Always Compliant" in all business areas. This practice ensures compliance with legal regulations and corporate values - also by including the promotion of personal responsibility. After all, we are all required to recognize and prevent criminal behavior in order to avert damage to our customers, employees and business partners.

Quality Assurance, Quality Management and Environmental Management System
For NOVOMATIC Hungária Kft., customer satisfaction is the most important thing, so we do our best to produce in the right quality and we also pay great attention to the protection of our environment. In order to achieve these goals, the company operates certified ISO 9001/2015 and ISO 14001/2015 management systems, which have been successfully implemented and have been awarded a certificate of certification, as well as UL certification.
Thanks to creativity, continuous innovation in the development of our well-regulated production processes, the use of state-of-the-art equipment and the use of the most modern tools, our company is successfully competing in the market. Our quality policy was born in order to improve our leading position in the market.
Our production processes are designed to minimise the impact of our manufacturing activities on the environment. Our company's Environmental Policy is based on a commitment to the environment.
Investment in innovation
Within our company, innovation and creativity have utmost priority among our corporate values. This is reflected in particular in our current materiality matrix in which innovation (management) was awarded a particularly high priority from a business perspective. Why we see innovation management as a core value is easily explained: as an internationally leading gaming technology group, it is crucial that we not only recognize trends early on, but also trigger and drive new trends, if we want to maintain a strategic position within the market. Innovation management is therefore understood as systematic planning, management and control of innovation within organizations.
