Compliance
We at Brainlab are fully committed to high ethical standards and aim to act with integrity and compliance in our daily work.
For us, mutual respectful conduct, reliability and responsibility as well as fair competition and working conditions are inseparably linked with compliance and constitute the basis for all business-related activities. This also comprises the protection of human rights and respecting our environment.
To prevent incompliant or criminal conduct of any kind, we have developed an Integrity & Compliance Program that addresses legal requirements and supports internal guidelines, procedures and values. Our Compliance Program protects the whole Brainlab group and its respective employees in their decisions and actions in challenging ethical situations and promotes correct and compliant behavior.
Compliance Helpline – Procedure Documentation
Speaking up – The Brainlab Compliance Helpline
Reports on potential or actual criminal conduct or serious non-compliant behavior are of utmost importance for Brainlab and help us to identify problems at an early stage.
Brainlab therefore offers a Compliance Helpline to enable and encourage employees and external parties, like suppliers or customers, to ask compliance related questions, make a suggestion or report possible misconduct within our company. Our Compliance Helpline also covers the requirements of §8 Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz LkSG) and shall be used for related reports or complaints as well (§2 Abs 2 and 3 LkSG). These include but are not limited to reports on child labor and forced labor, slavery, human rights- related environmental violations and unequal treatment in employment.
All documents and information provided will be handled with confidentiality and will be carefully reviewed in a timely manner. Information can also be submitted anonymously.
