All employees must also sign to confirm that they have read Multiconsult’s Code of Conduct, and there is a separate anti-corruption manual.
Multiconsult’s work is project-based, and most employees have contact with customers and third parties. This fact, combined with the continuously changing set of risks as the project portfolio evolves, means that our anti-corruption programme must mobilise most of the company. We have therefore increased the focus on anti-corruption, through extensive training and communication within the company.
The company’s anti-corruption programme means that corruption risk is more effectively managed, through risk-based resource allocation, improved risk identification and control, and better communication with third parties.
Main components of Multiconsult’s anti-corruption programe:
- Code of conduct
- Anti-corruption policy
- Anti-corruption activities are integrated into the procedures for sales, projects, finance, etc.
- Project-related activities, such as
- integrity assessments and Know Your Customer (KYC)
- obtaining self-declarations
- anti-corruption clauses in contracts between Multiconsult and other enterprises
- training for employees and contractors
- monitoring by the accounts department and the project controller function
- Procedures for documenting risk assessments and action
- Compliance Officer with alternative reporting lines to the company’s CEO and Board of Directors
