Look. Act. Report safely. Improve together.
The option to report is open to all employees, business partners and other third parties. If you suspect that a behavior violates legal or internal regulations or our Code of Conduct – whether by active action or omission – we ask you to report this. Violations can be reported to your compliance officer or another appropriate body (e.g. line manager or HR manager).
The report can also be made (anonymously) via the SpeakUp reporting system. It is possible to report a violation online in written form or by telephone. When reporting a violation, both the privacy policy for the use of SpeakUp and the SpeakUp guidelines (rules of procedure) for dealing with complaints and suspected compliance cases apply.
This is how you can reach our system for reporting possible violations – by name or anonymized:
“SpeakUp” Phone: 0800 1818 952
Organization code: 121460
We process reports independently, impartially and confidentially.
Important:
The reporting system is not intended for reporting incidents that pose an immediate threat to life or property. In such cases, please contact the known emergency numbers or the nearest police station.
Nor may it be used to make false accusations – knowingly reporting false information is prohibited. We also refer to the possibility of reporting to external reporting offices. The German legislator attaches particular importance to the internal reporting of compliance violations and expressly prioritizes this over external channels.
Whistleblowers make an important contribution to the integrity and protection of our corporate values, our employees and those affected.
