SIX is set up in a responsible and transparent way. The corporate governance rules cover all areas and set down how we are managed, organized and controlled.

At SIX, we are convinced that the future of finance has already begun. Financial market players must act now. That’s why we continuously feel the pulse of the market and invest accordingly in employees and technology.
An integrated approach to supplier management serves to optimize the value chain. It ensures that SIX remains competitive and that sustainability standards are upheld. The requirements are embedded in a single, binding procurement process.
The core activities of supplier management are:
Contractual obligations for suppliers:
In addition to the Code for Suppliers, SIX suppliers must comply with the General Terms and Conditions (GTC). The following forms apply to special versions, real estate, for example:
The GTC are available for the procurement regions. SIX strives to review the GTC every three years and adapt them to the current market conditions
Additional standard contractual documents, such as Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and other templates.
In close cooperation with the specialist units, Procurement monitors the direct and indirect risks for SIX. Procurement is in charge of monitoring and higher-level relationship management and, on request, supports the specialist units in purchasing-related matters.
If SIX learns that a supplier has failed to comply with the supplier requirements, the supplier affected must correct this situation within the contractual time period. In the event of severe violations, SIX reserves the right to end the supplier relationship immediately.
A supplier who becomes aware of illegal or other improper conduct by a SIX employee should inform SIX. The supplier can report to Compliance anonymously. A supplier's relationship with SIX will not be jeopardized by the reporting in good faith of potential misconduct.
