COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT STUTTGART AIRPORT

Without rules and conscientious employees who ensure a high level of security, air traffic could not function. In order to ensure compliance with these rules and legal obligations as well as with the company’s internal guidelines and values and the Fairport Code, Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH has established its own Compliance Management System (CMS).

Important components of the CMS include, among other things, the bodies with controlling function, such as the Supervisory Board or the Compliance Board, as well as a central guideline management system, clear policies, compliance processes and the risk management system.

Another important part of the CMS is the airport’s electronic whistleblower system (BKMS® Incident Reporting).

Anonymous whistleblower system

Via this system, whistleblowers can submit their reports either anonymously or by stating their names. The whistleblower system is not only available to employees but also to external stakeholders who wish to submit reports.

Further information on the reporting process and the processing of reports received by Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH can be found in the rules of procedure for reporting information (in German).
