OUR COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE

The companies of the Bauer Group place the highest value on compliance with all legal and ethical standards. This is expressed in the corporate guidelines, the behavioural guidelines and the codes of conduct for suppliers. Our commitment to compliance is an integral part of our corporate culture and forms the basis for sustainable success. This includes compliance with the Supply Chain Duty of Care Act, which ensures human rights and environmental standards along our entire supply chain. We are firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency and accountability in all areas of our business. (Human Rights Policy Statement)

 
INTRODUCTION OF THE COMPLIANCE TEAM

Our dedicated compliance team plays a central role in the implementation and monitoring of our compliance guidelines. It is your point of contact for all questions relating to compliance. Our team is on hand to provide you with advice and support, as well as to report violations of laws and self-imposed obligations. (Rules of Procedure Complaints Procedure)

DIGITAL WHISTLEBLOWING SYSTEM

In order to maintain our high standards, we have set up a special whistleblower system. This system allows anyone, employees, partners or third parties, to confidentially and anonymously report possible compliance violations. We encourage everyone to make use of this system to help us ensure our integrity and compliance with our policies.

About the whistleblower system

Our whistleblowing system is regularly reviewed to ensure secure and trustworthy communication. All reported incidents are carefully investigated and appropriate action is taken to address any breaches.
