Compliance

Good Corporate Governance

As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ruhr Regional Association Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR), an association of 53 municipalities in the Ruhr region, Business Metropole Ruhr GmbH (BMR) is committed to the principles of responsible corporate management in accordance with "Good Corporate Governance". Compliance is an integral part of the guidelines and policies laid down by BMR.

Compliance

BMR uses compliance for good corporate governance. We have anchored these principles in our mission statement and formulated them clearly and comprehensibly for all employees in BMR's business instructions. Our external actions are also based on these principles and thus provide the prerequisite for transparent, trusting and successful cooperation with our partners in the region.

Whistleblower system

A whistleblower system as a compliance instrument supports this obligation. It serves prevention, detection and employee protection in order to ideally identify weak points before damage occurs. BMR employees and external business partners always have the opportunity to report corruption-related issues to an expert ombudsperson (also anonymously).
