Anti-Corruption Compliance program

We do not tolerate, and we work actively to prevent, corruption in our business. Therefore we have implemented specific compliance programs for anti-corruption, antitrust & competition law, and trade compliance, which supplement and expand on the Code of Conduct.

Risk assessments, employee training, third-party compliance and reporting are essential components of the Anti-Corruption Compliance program.

The program adheres to strict international standards with the objective of preventing, detecting and responding to potential corruption. The implementation of the program is reviewed through the Group’s established process for internal control, including self-assessment in all operating companies and internal audit.

Compliance training

Our training guidelines underlines that all new employees are to get training on the relevant compliance programs within three months, and receive further training every three years thereafter. Training is conducted either through e-learnings, webinars or face-to-face. 

The target group for the anti-corruption training includes managers as well as sales, purchasing and sourcing personnel.
