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.

Demant has established a whistleblower hotline, which enables employees, business partners, and other stakeholders to report their concerns relating to corruption and bribery confidentially and anonymously. Group Legal & Compliance manages all reports received through the whistleblower hotline and our Whistleblower Policy and Investigation Guideline ensure that the investigator involved in a specific whistleblower case is independent from the chain of management involved in the matter.
