In this bonus episode of the podcast Ethics vs the Law – same same or different?, Bo Berndtsson continues the discussion on business model risks and the challenges connected to working through distributors and other third parties.

While corruption risk is often the primary focus in third party compliance, Bo highlights two other critical areas that companies must keep in mind: competition law and sanctions/export control risks.

The episode explores:

• why companies need to be careful not to interfere too much in a distributor’s business 

• the competition law risks connected to pricing and end customers 

• why sanctions and export controls are becoming increasingly important

• the importance of understanding where products ultimately end up 

• how compliance risks are shaped by the business model itself 

A short but practical reminder that third party risk goes far beyond corruption alone.
