The new Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) came into force on 2 July 2023. The text of the law can be viewed by anyone on the Internet via the Federal Gazette. This law places a number of new obligations on our company. Accordingly, we have set up an internal reporting centre for internal and external reports.

If you have any problems or a complaint, you are welcome to contact our internal reporting centre, the Chief Compliance Officer, at any time, who will deal with incoming reports in confidence and process them. Your concern will, of course, be treated confidentially in accordance with legal requirements. It should be noted at this point that false and / or abusive reports invalidate the whistleblower protection and can be sanctioned accordingly.

We always ensure compliance with our guidelines, the applicable laws and standards as well as our internal guidelines. Our current Code of Conduct sets out clear guidelines for all our employees to follow in their actions. The current Code of Conduct can be downloaded from the link below.

These guidelines are not only practised within the company, but also in our collaboration with our customers and partners. It is important to us that problems are communicated openly and solutions are worked out together.
