RTL Group is acutely aware of the special nature of the media business, as both an opinion former and information provider, and the responsibilities of a media company towards its communities. We are committed to provide our audiences with high quality products – including both quality information and popular entertainment, and strive to offer a broad range of content addressing society as a whole. Over and above simple compliance with regulation, we recognise that business success cannot only be measured in financial terms. The wide range of our activities and initiatives reflects our corporate structure. More importantly, sustainable management is part of our will to giving back to society.

ABOUT COMPLIANCE
Compliance with laws, internal regulations and contractual obligations is a precondition for operating in a legally “safe” business environment, built on mutually trusting relationships with all stakeholders.
Our compliance objectives are aligned with RTL Group’s values and business objectives: there is an ethics case in compliance since the Group is perceived on the adherence to its values, which requires compliance at all levels. There is also a clear business case since non-compliance can have an impact on RTL Group's reputation, impede its ability to achieve strategic objectives and therewith economic success. Finally, there is a legal case since demonstrating the existence of a sound compliance programme can prevent management and employees from legal liability.
