In order to address the special responsibility held by employees of a certain management level, as well as by employees with HR responsibility, these employees are increasingly receiving anti-corruption training. This includes all employees rated Global Grade (GG) 10 or higher.

To date, we have not differentiated between regions when recording compliance training; we are planning to provide this information in the next reporting period.

Our compliance and anti-corruption principles are communicated to all our business partners, who undergo the Business Partner Risk Management (BPRM) process.
