Local Compliance Officers

In each Schindler entity worldwide, a Schindler manager from Legal, Finance, HR or Internal Auditing acts as a Local Compliance Officer. They are the primary local contact, coordinate compliance activities locally, and are the “critical compliance voice” in their market.

Educate

In the Educate stage of the Compliance Programme activities and processes are implemented which are designed to avoid compliance violations before they occur.

Examine

In the Examine stage of the Compliance Programme processes to detect hints of possible violations ("Red Flags") are implemented.

Enforce

In the Enforce stage of the Compliance Programme suspicions of violations are investigated, corrective actions taken and the responsible employees sanctioned.
