DSV updates compliance communication together with SpiessConsult

Transport and logistics group intensifies employee communication in connection with the whistleblower hotline // Düsseldorf-based communications consultancy provides support in designing and planning various compliance information measures

‘Whistleblowing": The ability to report misconduct within an organisation is one of the basic building blocks of a company's compliance organisation. However, it can only function effectively if all employees are aware of the reporting channels and are confident that their identity and data will be treated confidentially. This applies in particular if a report is not made anonymously.

The issue has taken on a particular urgency with the entry into force of the Whistleblower Protection Act in Germany in July 2023. DSV is therefore once again strengthening communication about reporting options, offering advice and making it clear that the compliance organisation functions as a coach and problem solver.

DSV is a global expert in transport and logistics with 75,000 employees and offices in more than 80 countries worldwide. The companies DSV Road, DSV Air & Sea and DSV Solutions and an international network of partners make it possible to offer services worldwide and generate an annual turnover of 20.2 billion euros in 2023. In Germany, DSV Road has 26 locations and 2,300 employees.
