Why compliance?
The risks of becoming a target of unlawful behavior when initiating or performing business transactions and providing services are increasing. Despite stricter penalties, corruption and money laundering remain a constant threat for companies acting in good faith to becoming involved in the criminal activities of others.
The rapid development of national and international legal regulations affecting the business areas of the DS Group also requires constant monitoring, control of compliance and timely and appropriate responses to identified violations.
Through the implementation of appropriate measures for prevention, clarification, monitoring and, where necessary, penalties, unlawful and unethical behavior should be avoided to prevent any economic and reputational damages.
Compliance governance
Our Compliance Governance (release Q1/2024) defines the principles of effective compliance management to ensure compliance with the legal and ethical regulations applicable to the DS Group that prevent unlawful or unethical behavior.
Our Compliance Management System
The implementation of group-wide structures and internal guidelines has enabled the DS Group to satisfy its responsibilities within the framework of applicable laws and to identify and address unlawful or even criminal behavior by third parties.
