Trust and responsibility

The trust between Schaltbau, our customers and employees is our most important asset. Perhaps you – even if you are a third party – are aware of harmful conduct within the company but are too shy to share this information personally.

We want to effectively protect you as a whistleblower by enabling you to submit your information on a secure communication platform. If you wish, you can remain completely anonymous!

Please report violations of applicable laws, guidelines or codes of conduct such as:

• Corruption, antitrust offences and fraud
• Information on occurrences likely to affect financial reporting or auditing
• Serious violations of our compliance rules
• Bullying, harassment or other types of discrimination
• Violations of labour and environmental regulations
• Violations of data protection regulations and IT security policies

Furthermore, you will receive support on questions related to reports submitted in the whistleblower system – anonymously if required.

The anonymity of our whistleblower system is certified by an independent body. We are interested in information that averts damage, not in you as a whistleblower:

• When setting up your protected mailbox, you select the pseudonym, username and password yourself. This access data is only known to you.
• Your message is kept anonymous by encryption and other security measures. You do not need to provide personal information or use a terminal provided by your employer.
• You remain anonymous at all times during the dialogue via the mailbox.

1. You are asked to read an information text to protect your anonymity and go directly to the reporting portal.
2. On the following page you will be asked about the main focus of your report.
3. On the whistleblower page, you can formulate your report in your own words and answer questions about the case using simple multiple-choice answers. After submitting your report, you will receive a reference number as a receipt.
4. Then you can set up your own secure mailbox. This allows you to receive replies, answer questions and remain informed about the progress of your report.
