Code of Conduct
Exceptional client service begins with exceptional people committed to exceptional endeavours. At BDO, we believe that our business, at its core, isn’t about clients won or money.
It’s about helping people. It’s about creating a better culture for our employees, in and out of the office.
It’s about giving back to our communities and doing our part to preserve the environment. Our Code is based on our shared Ethics and reflects our core belief that, at BDO, ethics and integrity are fundamental and not negotiable. These Ethics are an integral part of our Code of Ethics which guides us in conducting business honourably, ethically, and with the utmost professionalism.
Ethic Hotline
We want to build mutual trust. That's why we've introduced a whistleblower protection program that allows you to anonymously report violations of the law. These possibilities can be used both by our employees and, for example, by our business partners.
The basis of the protection of whistleblowers is the ethics line, which is operated for us by the company BDO Audit s.r.o., NO 45314381. After clicking on the given link, you can submit a report anonymously or monitor the processing of an already submitted report.
Transparency
As a global organisation, BDO is committed to transparency. Our global Transparency Report for 2024 covers issues such as governance, risk and quality management, ethics and independence, public policy landscape and engagement, and sustainability.
