compliance
Compliance management is an essential corporate governance obligation. Inadequacies in this area can result in drastic consequences for the company. Substantial fines can be imposed for legal violations, the company may be excluded from public tenders and the reputation loss can be very damaging because ‘compliance scandals’ are generally covered widely in the media – even when the initial suspicion is ultimately proven to be unfounded. An efficient compliance programme offers protection and averts or mitigates sanctions.

Internal investigations
Fast and circumspect action essential when a company is suspected of irregularities or non-compliance – irrespective of whether the suspicions are based on whistle-blower complaints, internal audits or official investigations.
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE PUBLIC EYE
Sustainability in the public eye and has a decisive impact on business performance today. The pressure to act is building on several fronts: regulators, customers, employees and investors all expect credible sustainability programmes with measurable sustainability objectives. Companies that fully exploit the potential associated with sustainability in order to secure their future viability don’t just stick to the compulsory agenda, they commit to a lasting sustainability management.
