Ballast Nedam pursues a policy of zero tolerance
Bericht
Last week, there were reports in the media concerning an investigation into Ballast Nedam by the Dutch Competition Authority (NMa). The NMa has confirmed that there is no question of a formal investigation. A former project director, who was convicted of defrauding the construction consortium Komfort, made unsubstantiated statements about the involvement of Ballast Nedam. Investigations have been conducted and no evidence has been found of any involvement whatsoever on the part of Ballast Nedam.
Ballast Nedam operates a policy of zero tolerance with respect to its code of conduct. In the event that any possible violation is reported, a thorough investigation is conducted and immediate measures are taken if a violation is found to have taken place. Theo Bruijninckx, Chairman of the Board of Directors says: ‘We know that by tackling ethical issues through the courts, we may create negative publicity for our company. But this is something that we are prepared to accept because for us our code of conduct is extremely important and no breach will be tolerated whatsoever. What is important to us is an objective representation of the events that took place.’
The former project director of the construction consortium Komfort, Mr Oomen triggered the attention of the NMa when he made unsubstantiated statements about Ballast Nedam during a court case being conducted against him by the construction consortium. At the end of May 2012, he was found guilty of fraudulent activities and ordered to pay compensation of half a million euros to the construction consortium.
The NMa is currently verifying the veracity of the statements made by Mr Oomen. For the NMa, the statements made by Mr Oomen are a lead for our investigations; every year we receive many such leads. In such cases, we first seek to establish whether there are grounds to think that any suspicious activity has taken place. Of course, this includes taking an objective look at the information,’ said an NMa spokesman
