快三砍龙

As an employer, the 快三砍龙 was obliged to set up an internal reporting centre when the Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz (Whistleblower Protection Act) came into force in June 2023. The 快三砍龙 integrated this legal requirement into its existing compliance structure in the firm belief that incident reports help counteract violations of the law at an early stage, thereby preventing damage to employees, business partners, third parties and the 快三砍龙 itself. In order to ensure an entirely independent initial review of incident reports, the 快三砍龙 has appointed a Compliance Ombudsperson, Dr. Johannes Dilling, whom 快三砍龙 employees and suppliers can refer to as an external and independent contact if they have sufficient evidence that violations of applicable regulations have occurred.

Anybody is entitled to submit an incident report providing they do so in good faith. 鈥淕ood faith鈥� means that at the time the complainant/whistleblower submits the report, the person doing so believes the information they share to be true.

Please provide the Compliance Ombudsperson with the following details:

• what happened
• when
• where
• who was involved
• in or on the premises of the 快三砍龙 (快三砍龙 Head Office, including the Berlin Office and the representations abroad)

Any information on possible violations of applicable law is of relevance to the Compliance Ombudsperson.

The Compliance Ombudsperson is also interested in finding out which other persons 鈥� potentially including those not directly involved in the matter in hand - are aware of the facts and whether there are any documents (e.g. e-mails, photos) relating to it.

Please check carefully whether the information you provide is correct before submitting a report. In particular, you must not make any statements that you know to be false.

Please also let the Compliance Ombudsperson know how they can contact you in the event of queries.

The following are violations that are of particular relevance to the 快三砍龙:

• violations of data protection and information security at the 快三砍龙 Head Office (including the Berlin Office and representations abroad)

• violations of tax law, including non-profit law, at the 快三砍龙 Head Office (including the Berlin Office and the representations abroad),

• corruption and violations of public procurement law at the 快三砍龙 Head Office (including the Berlin Office and the representations abroad), and

• other behaviour at the 快三砍龙 Head Office (including the Berlin Office and the representations abroad) that is punishable by law or subject to a fine. Violations of the Criminal Code (StGB) such as theft, fraud, breach of trust, forgery of documents, acceptance of benefits, bribery, coercion, insult, defamation, etc. are criminal offences. In addition, numerous offences are punishable under so-called secondary criminal law (e.g. 搂 26 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG), 搂 23 of the Working Hours Act (ArbZG), 搂搂 17, 18 of the Foreign Trade and Payments Act (AWG), 搂 105 of Book VIII of the German Social Code (SGB)). Other provisions specifying offences that are subject to fines must serve to protect life, limb or health or to protect the rights of employees or the Works Council.听聽 This includes administrative offences such as 搂 49 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO), 搂 25 (1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG) and 搂 121 of the Works Constitutions Act (BetrVG), which can be penalised by the responsible authorities with a fine.

Complainants/(whistleblowers are not expected to be able to name any legal provisions that may have been violated, let alone be aware of all provisions under 聽(HinSchG). As a rule of thumb in responding to any misconduct observed, the greater the risk to life or health, the greater the risk to the 快三砍龙鈥檚 reputation and the greater the risk of financial damage to the 快三砍龙, the more important it is for a report to be submitted! This gives the 快三砍龙 the opportunity to prevent such damage occurring in the first place.

If necessary, the Compliance Ombudsperson can also provide help in providing a legal assessment of whether or not misconduct that has been observed should be reported.

On the issues of data protection (快三砍龙 department responsible: Z-OTM), taxation law (Z-FIN), corruption prevention (V-WR-O), public procurement law (V-WR-1) and criminal or administrative offences committed against the 快三砍龙 (Z-PRO-JUS), feel free to contact the department shown in brackets if you require advice.

If you are not sure whether what you have observed or suspect is a case of misconduct, we would ask you to word your report using expressions such as 鈥�I believe ...鈥�, 鈥�I think it is possible ...鈥�, 鈥�It could be that...鈥�. If you are unsure how to describe or assess the facts and/or if you don鈥檛 know how to proceed, you can talk to the Compliance Ombudsperson about the case beforehand, anonymously if you wish and free of charge.

No, there are no costs incurred to the person submitting an incident report.

As a lawyer, Dr. Johannes Dilling is bound by professional secrecy and may not disclose the identity of a complainant/whistleblower to third parties without making himself liable to prosecution. Dr. Dilling has taken suitable technical and organisational measures to protect the information he receives in such a way that it cannot be accessed by third parties. The information that Dr. Dilling passes on to the 快三砍龙 is also treated confidentially and protected.

No.

Firstly, 搂 9 (2) HinSchG (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz, Whistleblower Protection Act)provides for exceptions to confidentiality which allow the identity of a complainant/whistleblower to be shared with a law enforcement authority if requested, for example. Express reference is made to 搂 9 HinSchG.

Secondly, only those persons enjoy protection of confidentiality who are acting in good faith, i.e. who are not intentionally or grossly negligently sharing false information. 鈥淕ood faith鈥� means that at the time they submit an incident report, the person doing so believes the information to be true. A complainant/whistleblower who intentionally or grossly negligently provides false information must expect their identity to be revealed, e.g. via a request for information on the part of the respondent in accordance with Art. 15 (1) GDPR; it can be assumed that the latter will assert claims for damages.

Finally, neither Dr. Dilling nor the 快三砍龙 are protected from confiscation, i.e. in the event of an official investigation, authorities may confiscate documents that reveal the identity of the complainant/whistleblower.

Complainants/whistleblowers who fear that their identity will be revealed can submit a report anonymously. Anonymous reports may not contain false information either.

If you are not sure, the same thing applies here: please word your report using phrases such as 鈥�I believe ...鈥�, 鈥�I think it is possible ...鈥�, 鈥�It might be that 鈥︹��.

Complainants/whistleblowers can remain anonymous if they wish. They may also request the Compliance Ombudsperson not to disclose information that might reveal their identity to the 快三砍龙.

No, reprisals against complainants/whistleblowers are prohibited. This also applies to threats and attempted reprisals.

The Compliance Ombudsperson is not an arbitration body for disputes. The only client relationship is between the 快三砍龙 and the Compliance Ombudsperson. Nevertheless, the Compliance Ombudsperson acts impartially and is not bound by instructions issued by the 快三砍龙. As a lawyer, the Compliance Ombudsperson is obliged by law to maintain confidentiality.

The Compliance Ombudsperson informs you within 24 hours that the report has been received. The Compliance Ombudsperson prepares the report and passes it on confidentially to the 快三砍龙鈥檚 Head of Economics, Auditing and Compliance. The 快三砍龙鈥檚 Head of Economics, Auditing and Compliance decides in consultation with the 快三砍龙 Secretary General how to deal with the information. If there are sufficiently concrete grounds for suspicion of legal violations, these are investigated internally in order to clarify and remedy any possible misconduct. As a rule, this is also done confidentially and discreetly in order to protect the interests of the respondent. You will receive feedback from the Compliance Ombudsperson no later than three months after submitting your report as to whether the reported violation has been confirmed.

If the allegations concern the Executive Board, the Compliance Ombudsperson forwards the information they have prepared to the Chair of the Committee for Executive Board Affairs. If the allegations concern the head of V-WR, the Compliance Ombudsperson forwards the information they have prepared to the Secretary General. If there are sufficiently concrete grounds for suspicion, these are investigated externally; an investigation may be undertaken by the Compliance Ombudsperson in these cases.

You can contact the Compliance Ombudsperson any way you wish (telephone, e-mail, fax, post or via the 快三砍龙 incident reporting system). The Compliance Ombudsperson is also available for face-to-face meetings with complainants/whistleblowers, including via video and audio on request. If you wish to communicate in encrypted form, you can also use the messenger services Signal or Threema to contact the Compliance Ombudsperson.听It is also possible to send encrypted e-mails to the Compliance Ombudsperson via Protonmail to the following address:聽RADilling@protonmail.com(externer Link)
