Reporting system
"SpeakUp" - Observe. Act. Report Safely. Improve Together.
The option to report is available to all employees, business partners, and other third parties. If you suspect that any behavior violates legal or internal regulations or our Code of Conduct—whether through action or omission—we ask you to report it. Violations can be reported to your Compliance Officer or another appropriate contact (e.g., supervisors or HR representatives).
Reports can also be submitted (anonymously) via the SpeakUp reporting system. You can report a violation online in written form or by phone. When submitting a report, both the Privacy Policy for using SpeakUp and the SpeakUp Guide (Procedural Rules) for handling complaints and compliance suspicions apply.
Here’s how you can access our system to report potential violations—by name or anonymously:
„SpeakUp"
Phone: 0800 1818 952
Organisation code: 121683
We handle reports independently, impartially, and confidentially.
Important: The reporting system is not intended for incidents that pose an immediate threat to life or property. In such cases, please contact the known emergency numbers or the nearest police station.
It must also not be used for false accusations - knowingly submitting false information is prohibited. Furthermore, we refer to the option of reporting to external reporting offices. German legislation places particular importance on internal reporting of compliance violations and explicitly prioritizes it over external channels.
Whistleblowers make an important contribution to the integrity and protection of our corporate values, our employees, and those affected.
