Group Legal & Compliance manages the whistleblower hotline and has developed an Investigation Guideline, which is a tool that describes step-by-step how an investigation into a concern raised by an employee is conducted.

Group Legal & Compliance works closely with Global HR and has, in collaboration with them, developed an HR investigation process, which HR uses when conducting HR-related investigations. Employee concerns can also be reported to HR or managers directly and do not have to be reported through the whistleblower hotline.

Through anti-corruption risk assessment, we have identified the functions that are exposed to the highest risk in respect of corruption and bribery. These, among others, include employees that are in direct contact with public officials, for instance by participating in negotiations for public tenders on Demant’s behalf.
