The auditor’s report (only available in German) confirms that the described principles and measures of our Compliance Management System are adequate and effective to implement the Code’s provisions. They are suited to prevent violations of the rules and to identify risk of substantial violations in time. The necessary measures have been implemented as at 31 December 2015.
