Whistleblower system<\/h1>

In case of conflicts with our core values and codes of conduct of the Ethics Management System that an employee can no longer evaluate on his or her own, Bauer, in accordance with an open corporate culture, encourages its employees to confidently approach contact points in the company, such as the competent line manager, the compliance officer and Internal Audit. Employees and third parties may also centrally contact the<\/p>

Internal Audit of BAUER AG, phone: +49 151 113 105 52 or +49 160 728 496 2,<\/strong> e-mail: compliance(at)bauer.de<\/a>.<\/p>

Open communication is fostered in the BAUER Group. No investigation will be carried out based on anonymous information. However, the interests of the informants in protecting their anonymity are taken into account.<\/p>

Rules of procedure for the whistleblower system<\/a><\/p>

Retaliation against whistleblowers will not be tolerated by Bauer. Violations of this prohibition will also be punished as non-compliance with the rules.<\/p>

Employees and third parties who see the need for a personal and confidential discussion before and while giving information can also contact the Ombudsman<\/a> of the BAUER Group.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ombudsman<\/h2>

Employees and third parties who see the need for a personal and confidential discussion before and while giving information can also contact the Ombudsman of the BAUER Group.<\/p>

The Ombudsman is available as the contact person for topics in cases where a clarification within the Group is very difficult. These topics are, in particular, corruption and anti-competitive agreements. The Ombudsman does not perform any duties of customer service (for example, product complaints).<\/p>

The function of the Ombudsman is assumed by an independent external lawyer. Informants can provide information to the Ombudsman by telephone, in writing (email or letter) or in person:<\/p>

Lawyer<\/strong><\/p>

The Ombudsman will accept information only under the disclosure of the identity of the informant. Anonymous information is not part of our corporate culture. Should an informant want to maintain confidentiality, the Ombudsman will only forward the facts provided by the informant to Bauer. However, the name and the identity of the informant will be kept confidential. The confidentiality is ensured by the professional obligation of secrecy and the lawyer\u2019s privilege to refuse to give evidence as well as by a contractual agreement.<\/p>

Retaliation against whistleblowers will not be tolerated by Bauer. Violations of this prohibition will also be punished as non-compliance with the rules.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1912","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1912"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1912\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1913,"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1912\/revisions\/1913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eurodrill.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
