Compliance: GIZ Viet Nam

Compliance is important to GIZ because it upholds the company's reputation, helps manage risks, ensures trust with stakeholders, enables effective as well as efficient operations, and aligns with the company's global reach and corporate goals. In our ongoing commitment to maintaining compliance standards, GIZ offers a specialized mechanism through which individuals can confidentially report any breaches of laws or regulations. GIZ’s whistleblowing system serves as a crucial early warning mechanism, enabling the company to swiftly identify potential grievances and implement effective countermeasures. 

In addition, there is an option to report any actions or behaviors that are in violation of laws or regulations through the reporting channels available at the GIZ country office in Hanoi. These channels are designed to provide a low-threshold access structure for reporting. The case examiners are responsible for conducting a thorough evaluation of all reports, handling them confidentially, and ensuring timely risk mitigation.
