Deka is committed to ethical behaviour: Values like collegiality and sustainability are important to us. They mean so much to us that we have made them part of our Code of Ethics. All Deka employees are guided by these values and live by them.
All Deka employees, managers and members of the Board of Management are guided by our Code of Ethics. Other persons acting on behalf of the Deka Group also observe the Code of Ethics. There are nine values that we consider fundamental.
We communicate politely, openly and clearly with our customers and employees.
Consistency
We encourage our employees to report violations or suspected incidents to their superiors, the compliance department or our Ombudsman.
Implementation of the Code of Ethics
Compliance with the requirements of the Code is monitored in the same way for all employees of the Deka Group. The employee’s manager evaluates compliance with the Code as part of the annual target achievement meetings. Violations could lead to disciplinary measures, civil or criminal proceedings, and even termination of employment.
