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 ensures that all employees are aware that they can safely report concerns through the whistleblower hotline. E-learning informs employees about the whistleblower hotline, how to report and what they can report, and provides information about anti-retaliation principles. In 2024, all employees globally were asked to complete the e-learning, and we plan to relaunch the e-learning every three years. Business ethics champions appointed in each subsidiary globally help raise awareness about the Code of Conduct as well as our Anti-Corruption Policy and guidelines.
