Compliance & behaviour

Compliance protects the company and its employees

Compliance means adhering to legal regulations and internal company standards of behaviour. The aim of compliance regulations is to protect employees and the company from harm. They form the basis of our daily actions and apply to all employees, including managers and management.

Our employees are continuously informed about our compliance regulations and receive personal counselling on request. Information from employees or outsiders about possible misconduct, potential violations of the law or criminal offences such as corruption is investigated with great care and treated confidentially.

You can reach the DERTOUR Group compliance team by e-mail.

Behavioural principles for respectful cooperation

Our principles of behaviour are characterised by integrity and loyalty: We abide by the law, compete fairly and are a reliable partner for our customers and business partners. As the tourism division of REWE Group, the Group's standards of behaviour are decisive for us. These are laid down in the REWE Group Code of Conduct and are equally binding for the DERTOUR Group. 

The Code of Conduct contains principles for our behaviour in business transactions and in our dealings with one another. It gives us orientation and is at the same time an obligation for all those who work on behalf of REWE Group.

With the Hintbox it is particularly easy to submit compliance notices - and also anonymous on request. The new tool also enables smooth, data protection-compliant communication between whistleblowers and the responsible individual compliance departments within REWE Group.

However, people who wish to submit compliance reports without using the digital tool can continue to contact the REWE Group's „Ombudsman“.
