Merkur Group: International exchange and continuous improvement
Merkur Group strengthens compliance efforts across national borders.
Press release.- Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from June 30 to July 1 to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, the US, and Australia travelled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management, and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.
In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking, and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.
Ludwig Beckmann, chief compliance officer of the Merkur Group, explains: “The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes.”
The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable this international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.
