As an internationally successful company, we operate in many different political systems and jurisdictions. Protecting and maintaining HOCHTIEF’s reputation is a top priority for us. Every employee must therefore be capable of doing the right thing. Illegal company practices must be avoided without any exception. HOCHTIEF has therefore introduced a Compliance System in order to counter this challenge in the best possible way.
All our business operations, including the construction services that we provide, are performed pursuant to the principles of business ethics formulated in the HOCHTIEF’s “Code of Conduct” as well as in the “Code of Conduct for Business Partners“. Among the regulations that have been developed, you will also find the Digital Whistleblower System, through which HOCHTIEF employees can report incidents confidentially or anonymously. We also encourage all our business partners to use the whistleblowing system. Reporting is done through a secure channel to protect data.
Whether corruption or human rights violations: those responsible at HOCHTIEF can only respond if they are informed of such incidents. Therefore, it is essential to report suspected violations of laws and policies.
