Rule-breaking behaviour, which includes breaches of regulatory standards, laws and our internal policies, can lead to fines, penalties, economic loss and severe reputational damage to our company. EHG is obliged by law to support and protect whistleblowers. But it is also part of EHG’s corporate culture to protect whistleblowers against adverse consequences such as suspension, demotion or intimidation, and not to tolerate such behaviour. This is what we stand for and what we have committed to.

You can report rule-breaking using one of the following channels:

The digital whistleblower tool was introduced to enable whistleblowers – including third parties – to report violations anonymously. "BKMS" is managed exclusively by the Group Compliance Office  and incoming reports are treated confidentially. The Code of Procedure serves as a guide on how to report possible violations of legal requirements or internal guidelines. It explains step by step how the whistleblower system works, who the contact persons are and how the information received is handled.

Suspected violations of laws, applicable regulations and our internal policies that harbour a high risk potential for our company, our employees and our customers should be reported.

Violations of the following in particular harbour a high risk potential:

• Code of Conduct 
• Internal policies
• relating to fraud and corruption
• Rules on financial auditing and accounting
• Competition and antitrust law
• Prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing
• Product safety and conformity
• Environmental, consumer and data protection provisions

Violations such as bullying, sexual harassment or discrimination can also be reported.

All reports are dealt with in confidence.
