Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct sets out basic guidelines and procedures. These guidelines define the general standards for conduct in business, legal and ethical matters and also regulate how employees can report misconduct in the Company. They serve all members of the Executive Board, management and employees of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group as a binding orientation and regulatory framework for dealing with each other and with business partners, customers, suppliers and other third parties.
Another central compliance instrument of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group is the whistleblower system. In addition to internal reporting channels, there is also the possibility of anonymously submitting information on legal violations via an external ombudsman's office.
Anti-discrimination
ProSiebenSat.1 Group does not tolerate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, religion and belief, or sexual orientation and identity. The Group promotes a corporate culture that prohibits any kind of sexual violence or abuse of power. For years, we have taken a clear stand against such behavior through our Code of Conduct. All employees are required to report discrimination or violations of other principles set out in the Code of Conduct, for example to the company's compliance officers. In addition, we provide mandatory training on the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) to our staff throughout Germany and participate in the Themis Confidential Office against Sexual Harassment and Violence, which advises victims in companies in the film, TV and theater industries, through the Association of Private Media VAUNET.
