Whistleblowing System
Whistleblowing Process of DS Group
Compliance with legal regulations, internal principles of behaviour and the Code of Conduct is our top priority. The success of the DS Group is based on trust, integrity and compliance. In order to live up to this claim, it is important to learn of possible misconduct by our own employees or those of our suppliers and to prevent it. For this reason, a whistleblower system was created in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) and the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSR).
Report an offence
Diersch & Schröder GmbH & Co. KG – on behalf of the entire DS Group – has installed a whistleblower system that enables employees, business partners and third parties to report incidents, actions and risks. This gives all employees, business partners and third parties the opportunity to point out violations. This can limit undesirable consequences and prevent similar misconduct in the future. In order to guarantee absolute confidentiality and anonymity (if requested by the whistleblower), the management has appointed an external whistleblowing officer who receives all reports on behalf of the DS Group.
