Whistle blowing
In 2005 DSM was one of the first companies listed on the Euronext AEX index to introduce a – global - whistleblower policy, which offers protection to employees who report abuses within the company.
The whistleblower policy meets the requirements of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code in the Netherlands and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States. Under the policy, employees can report any situation that involves a violation by DSM or one of its employees of:
- an existing law or regulation
- the DSM Code of Business Conduct
- any of the DSM Corporate Policies, Requirements and Directives
