These voluntarily adopted codes of conduct, which consist of both legal and internal requirements, obligations based on adopted commitments and ethical principles, form an integral part of the company and are the basis for its decision-making. Compliance-related activities contribute to fulfilling the strategy adopted by the Volkswagen Group and are part of the worldwide compliance effort.

The Ombudsman system
The Volkswagen Group, which Digiteq Automotive s.r.o. is a part of, has instigated an ombudsman system for the reporting of all matters of corruption and any suspected corrupt practices. Each employee is entitled to contact one of the two independent ombudsmen, if they have uncovered even the slightest hint of corruption. Similarly, our suppliers, customers and any other entities which come into contact with Digiteq Automotive s.r.o. can also contact the ombudsman. The system’s objective is to prevent corrupt practices by assisting in uncovering and resolving any cases of corruption. The ombudsmen are obliged to maintain confidentiality as to the source of the notification during their activities and the identity of the whistle-blower is therefore reliably protected.
