The ThyssenKrupp Whistle blowing System enables you to report possible violations of antitrust and anti-corruption laws or company policies in relation to companies of the ThyssenKrupp Group – anonymously if desired.
This system for reporting information is open to all Thyssen Krupp employees as well as third parties such as customers, suppliers, etc. Information can be reported at any time and in 34 languages worldwide via an electronic Whistle blowing System on the internet and via a Telephone Hotline. Toll-free numbers for telephone reports have been set up in more than 50 countries.
All reports received are reviewed and handled by ThyssenKrupp AG Compliance Officers. It is possible to set up a secure postbox – anonymously if desired – to enable communication between Compliance Officers and whistle blowers.
ThyssenKrupp safeguards the interests of the whistle blower not only through this secure Whistle blowing System, but also by providing assurances that all information received by the Corporate Function Compliance at ThyssenKrupp AG will be treated in confidence, and that all means at our disposal will be used to protect whistle blowers acting in good faith from any disadvantages as a result of their disclosures. ThyssenKrupp will apply appropriate measures against employees who violate this commitment.
During its investigations, ThyssenKrupp will also strive to protect the legitimate interests of other persons affected by a disclosure. Casting suspicion on another person can have serious consequences for that person. It is essential that the Whistle blowing System is used responsibly.
Employees who feel the need for a more personal and confidential discussion prior to and when providing information can also contact the ThyssenKrupp AG ombudsmann.
For employees of the ThyssenKrupp Group reports submitted via this system and the ombudsman are one way of providing us with information about possible compliance violations. However, in the spirit of a corporate culture based on openness, we encourage all employees to first turn to contacts within the company, e.g. their line managers or the Legal and Compliance Departments.
For legal reasons, information concerning the USA and Canada must be reported via the ThyssenKrupp North America report submission system.
