Participation in the training courses, which have taken place via online training since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, is mandatory for all employees every two years.
The Compliance Office is available to answer any additional compliance questions. Secondly, guidelines define how conflicts of interest and corruption are to be handled.

The whistleblowing portal (BKMS® Incident Reporting) is at the disposal of employees of the secunet group or third parties to seek advice or draw attention to significant violations of the code of conduct – in particular illegal business practices.
