Conducting business with integrity
Introduction
Guide our direction and shape our decisions
At Lely, we are driven by our core values, which guide our direction and shape our decisions. Our vision to create a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming depends on the choices we make every day. Whether in how we work with colleagues, support farmers, or develop new solutions - we aim to always act with integrity.
Our Code of Conduct and SpeakUp Policy form an important foundation of responsible business at Lely. They help us ensure a safe, fair and transparent working environment where everyone is empowered to act with honesty. Together, we are responsible for creating a culture built on trust - one in which we all feel safe to raise questions or concerns.
Code of Conduct
The Lely Code of Conduct defines the standards and expectations that guide our decisions and behavior. It reflects who we are and what we stand for as a family-owned, international company committed to innovation, progress, honesty, passion and respect.
Our Code sets clear principles on topics such as safety, human rights, environmental responsibility, data protection and integrity. It helps us make responsible choices in daily work and ensures that we treat people, animals and the environment with care.
Every Lely employee - regardless of role, location or background - is expected to know, understand and live by the Code. By doing so, we help build a company that operates with transparency, protects its reputation and contributes positively to the agricultural sector and the Farm of the Future.
Business Partner Code of Conduct
We believe responsible business conduct extends beyond our own operations. The Lely Business Partner Code of Conduct defines the standards we expect from all our business partners, including suppliers and Lely Centers.
The Business Code sets out clear expectations on topics such as human rights, health and safety, environmental responsibility, fair competition, anti-corruption and data protection.
Adherence to the Business Partner Code of Conduct is a prerequisite for doing business with Lely. We expect our partners not only to comply with these standards, but also to actively promote them throughout their own operations and supply chain. By working together, we can drive meaningful change and contribute to a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future for farming.

SpeakUp Policy
A strong culture of integrity means speaking up when something doesn’t feel right. The Lely SpeakUp Policy supports a safe and confidential way to report concerns or suspected misconduct. Whether it’s about behavior that goes against our values, a breach of the law or a safety risk - speaking up helps us protect each other, our company and our shared future.
Reports are handled in strict confidence and can be made anonymously through our independent SpeakUp webpage, managed by a third party. We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against those who raise concerns in good faith.
