Anti-Corruption
Corruption is not tolerated at BPG. Such behavior is ethically unacceptable.
Active Corruption
Active corruption occurs when an advantage is offered, promised, given, or approved to a representative of a business partner or public authority in order to gain benefits for BPG, its employees, or third parties. Providing such an advantage is a compliance violation and strictly prohibited.
Passive Corruption
Passive corruption occurs when someone at BPG demands, accepts, or is promised a personal benefit from a business partner or public official in exchange for an action. Accepting such benefits also constitutes a compliance violation and is prohibited.
Code Of Conduct
Integrity, responsibility and compliance with the law are fundamental to our corporate culture. Our Code of Conduct sets out the central principles that guide how we act in our daily work and supports decisions in line with legal requirements, internal rules and our values.
These principles also guide our interactions with business partners and stakeholders.
BPG’s Whistleblower System
As a responsible corporate group, this whistleblower system is an integral part of our compliance structure.
We offer – and even encourage – all individuals to report suspected or actual violations of the following legal provisions:
- Directive (EU) 2015/849 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing (“4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive”)
- Federal Act on Procedure and Protection in the Event of Reporting Legal Violations in Certain Areas of Law (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz – Whistleblower Protection Act, HSchG)
The anonymity of whistleblowers is fully guaranteed. However, knowingly submitting false reports may lead to labor and criminal law consequences.
