SAFELY INTO THE FUTURE
WITH LEADING TECHNOLOGY TO THE TOP
Anyone who chooses LITEF can depend upon absolute cutting-edge technology – for almost six decades, we have been producing safety. Safety means that our products and solutions have a proven track record of reliable service. If you were to ask me what our objective is, then I would give you a relatively simple answer: LITEF wishes to be the market and technology leader in the inertial systems sector, renowned for robust and reliable FOG, MEMS and Sensorfusion solutions. We are already well on the way to achieving that objective.

OUR CONTRIBUTION TO A SAFE FUTURE
For us, sustainability means striving for an interlocking set of social, environmentally sound and economic objectives, each of equal importance. We place sustainable growth above making a quick profit. We wish to create enduring values and we work continuously to be careful and sparing with resources and our environment. Also as an employer, sustainability matters to us. Indeed, our top priority is to foster, protect and motivate a workforce that enjoys equality of opportunity.
WE ACT LAWFULLY AND ARE GUIDED BY OUR VALUES
For us, compliance means more than responsible management of a company. It also entails compliance with statutory directives, government regulations, internal company guidelines and the upholding of ethical principles. For the men and women who work for us, rule-compliant conduct is second nature. To uphold this, we provide training for all of our payroll staff at regular intervals. Our Code of Conduct serves as a guide for all we do and for how we do it.
NOTIFICATION OF EQUAL RIGHTS
We have always been concerned to have equality of opportunity for men and women. In March 2015, the Bundestag, German Federal Parliament, signed off on the 'Law for the equality of opportunity for women and men in management positions'. We comply with this law, and we promote women into management positions by having at least one woman at our top level of management and at least one in the next tier of management. We achieved this objective in June 2017. Named criteria remain in place until 30 June 2022.
