Forging new roles and processes in Ethics and Compliance

Abstract

Ethics and Compliance tasks at companies are often channelled through a compliance officer and a centralized compliance team. However, more and more activities are arising that fall in the Ethics and Compliance domain. They now go beyond anti-corruption regulations, and cover whistle-blower protection, safeguarding data privacy, adherence to international sanctions and international trade regulations, cybersecurity, competition law, as well as integrating the activity of the coming ESG (environmental, social and governance) sphere.
