Marie-laure Pedamon, Compliance Director - EMEA Due Diligence and Hospitality Corporate Legal and Compliance Organization, Nokia Corporation, France

However, more and more activities are arising that fall in the Ethics and Compliance domain. They now go beyond anti-corruption regulations, and cover whistle-blower protection, safeguarding data privacy, adherence to international sanctions and international trade regulations, cybersecurity, competition law, as well as integrating the activity of the coming ESG (environmental, social and governance) sphere.
