Compliance
Compliance refers to the observance of legal requirements and internal corporate policies and rules. The Code of Conduct provides guidance for all Bosch associates on values-based, ethical, and legally irreproachable conduct. We feel that responsible and lawful conduct is important beyond company boundaries and have formulated our expectations in our Code of Conduct for Business Partners.
Comprehensive compliance management system
Bosch’s compliance management system provides a binding framework worldwide for promoting compliant conduct and serves to reduce compliance risks.
It provides the basis for effective implementation of external and internal requirements and defines minimum requirements for processes of relevance for compliance. These include various prevention and control measures as well as the Bosch whistleblowing system.
BSH Hausgeräte GmbH operates an independent compliance management system and has developed its own Code of Conduct for employees and its own Code of Conduct for suppliers. In addition, BSH Hausgeräte GmbH operates its own reporting system.
Whistleblowing system
Resources for notifying possible violations.
Our whistleblowing system can be used to report possible compliance violations within the Bosch Group or at suppliers. The system is available in several languages and can be accessed by associates, business partners and other third parties. Reports can be submitted via the platform, by e-mail or telephone — also anonymously.
Our Principles for reporting possible violations and processing reports at Bosch set out the details of the different reporting channels and the processing procedure.
