Corruption risks vary across markets. As multinational companies develop and expand into new and emerging markets, the ability of businesses to identify and impose controls on the relevant corruption risks will continue to be a crucial part of best practice.
thyssenkrupp clearly recognizes the corruption risks associated with operating in high-risk markets.
In order to take care of such risks, we have conducted a Group wide bottom-up risk assessment to better understand – on the basis of our specific business models, external factors such as the TI Corruption Perceptions Index, etc. – where exactly which concrete risks, including the corruption risks, lie. This risk assessment is frequently updated, e.g. by so-called Compliance Dialogs (cf. Question 2 in the Section "Internal Controls") with the business.
Based on the results of the risk analysis, we have organized the Compliance organization and its procedures in a way to take care of high-risk regions/markets with a local organization. The Segments & Regions department strengthens our compliance advice activities in high-risk regions through regional compliance officers who, acting at local level and with knowledge of local laws and culture, advise selected foreign thyssenkrupp companies and carry out training programs on compliance-related issues. Their responsibilities also include the performance of Compliance audits and the preparation of comprehensive Compliance statements in accordance with the applicable law.
