As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, the Danske Bank Group fully endorses its tenth principle: working against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.
The Group’s approach to corruption can be summed up in the following three guiding principles:
- The Danske Bank Group and its employees do not accept or solicit bribes in any form
- The Danske Bank Group strongly discourages facilitation payments
- The Group’s employees do not give or receive gifts above token value
Even with these guiding principles, the line between right and wrong can sometimes be difficult to draw, considering the variations in local culture and habits. The Group therefore encourages employees, if they are in doubt about this matter, to refer their concerns to the Compliance department.
