As of December 12, 2023, internal whistleblower reporting offices are established in our corporate group. The establishment of these reporting offices is in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG). The primary goal of the law is to ensure that applicable laws are observed within our corporate group.
Moreover, whistleblowers are protected from reprisals such as termination, salary changes, or reassignment of tasks by the Whistleblower Protection Act.
The whistleblower reporting office is operated by external trust lawyers, Attorney Claudia Vogel and Attorney Dr. Stefanie Heinrich, www.vogel-heinrich.eu. Information on what you need to consider when submitting a report, how to submit a report, and the process of handling a report by our trust lawyers can be found at:
www.vogel-heinrich.eu/fuer-hinweisgeber
There, under www.vogel-heinrich.eu/unsere-vertragspartner, you will find the respective tiles of our corporate group.
Whistleblowers can generally choose whether to contact our internal reporting office or an external reporting office. Further information on external reporting offices and their responsibilities can be found here: Federal Reporting Office
