Quality and customers: stability and service as guarantees As a service company, we have a special obligation towards our customers. Therefore we make the highest possible demands in terms of comprehensive customer care and technical support.

Our extensive business continuity management (BCM) also enables us to continue to provide our services even in the event of catastrophe. Risk management: consistently minimising risks As an exchange, we have a central responsibility for stable marketplaces and an obligation towards our customers to minimise trading risks. Using, for example, the clearing system of Eurex Clearing, we guarantee the execution of transactions and provide market participants with efficient instruments for risk management. Moreover, we also ensure security and stability internally through extensive risk management organised on a decentralised basis. Compliance: preventing abuse The unconditional obligation to comply with statutory provisions and ethical aspects is a fixed component of our corporate culture. The rules of compliance that apply throughout the Group serve to ensure that our employees act in accordance to the law and relevant regulations. The main emphasis of the rules of compliance is on avoiding insider trading and conflicts of interest, and combating fraud and corruption, amongst others.
