As the first social security institution in the country, the AUVA has now been certified for its comprehensive compliance and anti-corruption management systems. These systems under the direction of Agnes ChristianChief Compliance Officer of the AUVA, apply to all around 6,300 employees of the company.
Through the successful certification according to the international standards ISO 37301 (Compliance Management System) and ISO 37001 (anti-corruption management system), AUVA confirms its commitment to the highest standards in the areas of compliance, ethics and transparency.
