For this reason, Zürcher Kantonalbank and its subsidiaries rely on their employees and third parties (e.g. customers, suppliers, competitors) to learn of alleged malpractices within the organisation. Employees who submit a report in good faith do not have to fear any disadvantageous consequences.

Examples of malpractice include violations of criminal, regulatory or administrative laws as well as other legal regulations and internal rules.
