In order to ensure constant awareness throughout the company of the need to act with integrity, a worldwide communication and training program, including mandatory sign-off on the General Business Principles (GBP}, is in place. On an annual basis, global internal communications programs are rolled out with the participation of the Executive Committee and the respective Sector, Area and Market management.
A web-based GBP training tool is available to all employees with online access in 11 different languages. This tool is regularly updated. Also, dedicated training courses, both web and classroom-based, are offered to specific audiences and functional areas. GBP Compliance Officers are regularly enrolled in dedicated e-training programs that include complaint-handling procedures and dilemma training. Furthermore, a regular two-day train-the- trainer program for compliance awareness is mandatory for all Philips GBP Compliance Officers.
As part of our SSP program and based on identified needs of a particular supplier, Philips implements a variety of capability-building initiatives, from trainings to sharing of best practices. These engagements aim to help our suppliers comply with overall Philips requirements as needed, including on modern slavery and human trafficking."
