Anti-retaliation is a part of our Whistleblower Policy. We are committed to ensuring that there will be no discriminatory or retaliatory action against any employee or third party who in good faith raises a concern through the whistleblower hotline. Our anti-retaliation efforts comply with Directive (EU) 2019/1937.

Demant has implemented policies and guidelines to mitigate corruption risks throughout the organization. This includes an Anti-Corruption Policy, Gifts & Hospitality Guidelines, and country-specific appendices with local monetary limits and a Third Party Compliance Code, which contains a section on anti-corruption, and is included as an appendix in contracts with third parties. For third parties, a due diligence process is in place to assess the anti-corruption risk associated with dealing with third parties in scope of due diligence. Based on findings, appropriate mitigating measures are implemented, such as specific anti-corruption wording in the contract with the third party.
