This confidential report may concern indications and well-founded suspicions of actual or potential violations that have either already been committed or are very likely to occur. A whistleblower system therefore offers the opportunity to uncover potential violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The EU Whistleblower Directive (Directive (EU) 2019\/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law) aims to protect persons who report breaches. In addition, persons who are the subject of a report or disclosure and other persons affected by a report or disclosure are protected. For Germany, the requirements are defined in the HinSchG. This results in a legal obligation to introduce a whistleblower procedure (so-called &#8220;internal reporting office&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of suspected violations of the law, unethical behavior or other misconduct, the whistleblower reporting office\/portal is at your disposal. Our employees, customers, suppliers and business partners can use these to report suspected or actual violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such violations include, for example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fraud, theft, embezzlement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bribery\/corruption<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offenses relating to the Supplier Due Diligence Act or Supply Chain Act<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violations of antitrust law<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violation of data protection or IT security guidelines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violations of environmental protection requirements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conflicts of interest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual harassment, discrimination, violations of personal integrity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Procedure for reporting suspected cases<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are convinced that the actions of one or more employees constitute misconduct, you should always report these concerns to your line manager. If you have a legitimate reason for feeling uneasy about clarifying this with your superior or fear negative consequences for yourself, such as reprisals, unfair treatment or dismissal, you can also contact your superior. The works council committee is also available to you as a contact point.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Use of the whistleblower portal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The safest way to send a message is to open the following address in the browser of your private device: beltz.hinweisgebersystem.online .<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This portal guarantees independent and anonymous processing of the reported transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the whistleblower has personal interests in the matter raised, they should disclose this from the outset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Shared responsibility for joint reporting office for group of companies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reporting office is operated under joint responsibility with other affiliated companies in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The participating companies have concluded an agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, which is available on request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participating affiliated companies are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beltz R\u00fcbelmann Holding GmbH &amp; Co KG<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beltz Publishing Group &#8211; Julius Beltz GmbH &amp; Co.

However, disciplinary or legal action can be taken against whistleblowers who provide false information. The Whistleblower Protection Act explicitly excludes protection of the identity of the whistleblower in the case of false information or even defamation. In such cases, the malicious whistleblower is even obliged to compensate the damage (Section 38 HinSchG).  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dealing with notices<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incoming reports are processed according to a standardized and fair process. All information received is treated in strict confidence, and reports can be submitted anonymously if desired, whereby anonymity is also guaranteed in the further course of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will receive notification of receipt and acknowledgement of your report within 7 days. You can rely on the information being handled discreetly and confidentially. You will be informed of the information from the investigation process and corresponding follow-up measures no later than 3 months after your report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Whistleblower Protection Act includes protection against disadvantages through the provision of information. The whistleblower therefore does not have to fear any negative consequences. If violations of German law are reported, the law protects the whistleblower from any negative consequences. In addition, the whistleblower is not liable for any damage caused by the discovery of the infringement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protecting the identity of the whistleblower is the top priority of the Whistleblower Protection Act. This is ensured by the option of confidential reporting. The identity of the whistleblower will only be disclosed with the whistleblower&#8217;s consent. An exception is made in the case of judicial or official investigations. Here, the whistleblower is informed before his identity is disclosed.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Processed data, purposes of processing and legal bases<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The processing of personal data includes<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the data on the whistleblower (if not reported anonymously), if applicable on the accused and other persons involved (e.g. witnesses)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other data depending on the content of the message (data in the message)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the associated data processed as part of internal investigations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purposes of the processing are the investigation and, if necessary, the proof of violations of applicable law and\/or internal instructions as well as the defense of the company against legal claims and any official investigations and proceedings by documenting the processing, procedures and investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The legal bases are<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">essentially the legal obligation to process in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.
