EOS advocates strong, binding industry standards and responsibility guidelines. We apply strict criteria when we price portfolio purchases and make other investments.
Digital Responsibility & Cyber Security: How EOS protects sensitive data
Data are the business foundation of the EOS Group. This is why we employ around 90 people across the Group to constantly improve data protection and information security. With the help of monitoring tools, we were able to identify and stop around 600 attempted attacks in 2022/23 alone. As part of the new “Iron EOS” program, we are currently establishing a protection system that will enable us to respond not just quickly but also in a coordinated way across the entire Group.
Business Ethics & Safeguard Compliance: Helping to shape our sector
The EOS Group is involved in 23 European debt collection associations and various initiatives to help create strict and binding standards and responsible guidelines in the debt collection sector.
To eliminate irregularities, the EOS Group also operates a platform that offers whistleblowers a protected space and is integrated in the mechanism of the Otto Group. There, employees, suppliers, service providers and customers can report compliance violations at EOS and in the Otto Group. None of the five cases reported in 2022/23 were substantial or necessitated a countermeasure.
Association work for high standards
Through its membership of numerous national and international associations, EOS is actively working to help design and implement ethical standards in the industry.
Responsible Acquisition of Portfolios & Partnerships: Solide Werte bei der Zusammenarbeit
Das Geschäft mit notleidenden Krediten erfordert ein hohes Maß an Verantwortung. Als Mitglied eines Familienunternehmens – der Otto Group – achten wir auch auf eine Preisgestaltung, die den Interessen und ethischen Standards aller Beteiligten langfristig gerecht wird. Beispiel: In Partnerschaft mit International Finance Corporation (IFC), einer Tochtergesellschaft der Weltbank, wird EOS innerhalb von drei Jahren mehr als 100 Millionen Euro in notleidende Kredite und Immobilien in Osteuropa investieren – unter Einhaltung der ESG-Standards (Environmental, Social & Governance).
Bei der Auswahl von Partnern und Kunden wendet EOS ebenfalls strenge Kriterien an. Dazu gehört nicht nur die regelmäßige Überprüfung von Partnern und Unternehmen hinsichtlich ihres Umgangs mit Themen wie Menschenrechten, Geldwäsche und Korruption, sondern auch eine Blacklist für die Branche.
Unser Code of Conduct für Dienstleister, der die UN-Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung und Klauseln aus dem Lieferkettengesetz umfasst, sorgt für einen fairen Umgang mit Lieferanten und die Einhaltung von menschenrechtlichen und umweltbezogenen Sorgfaltspflichten entlang der Lieferkette.
Unser Code of Conduct: Klare Regeln für ein faires Miteinander
Mit unserem Code of Conduct gehen wir verbindliche Verpflichtungen im Hinblick auf unser tägliches Handeln ein. Diese festgelegten Verhaltensgrundsätze sind ein verlässlicher Orientierungspunkt für unsere Mitarbeiter*innen, Kund*innen und Geschäftspartner*innen. Sie sind auf den Websites der EOS Unternehmen für jedermann zugänglich. Der Code of Conduct wird stetig weiterentwickelt. Das Besondere daran ist, dass er die Realität der Zielgruppe, für die er geschaffen wurde, genau widerspiegelt. Als Ergänzung zu diesem Dokument bieten wir unseren Mitarbeitern Lernmodule zu dem Thema an.
