The guidelines are published within the Flughafen München GmbH Group via the intranet in a guideline database. In the event of substantial changes to the content of the guidelines that affect Flughafen München GmbH or the Group, approval will be obtained from the Flughafen München GmbH Executive Board. Where necessary, training is provided for the target group or other communication channels are used. Compliance with the guidelines is reviewed and ensured by the managers responsible and by the internal audit department. | 6 | |||
