If you would like to report violations by the company against a regulation mentioned in § 2 HinschG, for example those concerning environmental protection, data protection, traffic safety, consumer protection or product safety, you can do so via the whistleblower portal. A complete list of relevant violations can be found under § 2 para. 1 no. 1–10 and § 2 para. 2 no. 1 and 2 HinschG.
Within the framework of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, the whistleblower portal enables whistleblowers to point out human rights and environmental risks as well as violations of human rights-related or environmental obligations that have arisen due to the economic actions of a company in its own business sector or of a direct supplier.
The whistleblower system is of course not a grievance box. Thus, disputes between the company and an employee or between employees are not relevant in the context of the HinschG, as well as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act.
