KRONES Integrity

KRONES wants to be perceived not only as a market and technology leader but also as a serious, credible and reliable partner – by customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders as well as authorities, institutions and the general public. This is one of the primary requirements for achieving our business objective of maintaining and expanding our market leadership.

To protect the integrity of the company and avert potential damage, KRONES is interested in learning about proven or suspected violations of laws or internal regulations. KRONES attaches great importance to an open company culture. It encourages employees and third parties who have become aware of compliance risks to approach points of contact within the company, e.g. executive staff, HR or the local Compliance Officer.

In addition, KRONES offers its employees, customers, suppliers and other business partners a secure whistleblower portal: KRONES Integrity. Report potential compliance violations here. This way, corresponding information can be delivered worldwide at any time, securely and confidentially. Submitted reports will be forwarded to the Compliance and Corporate Governance Department of KRONES AG, which is responsible for the further confidential processing of the report.

The whistleblower portal serves the purpose of identifying and avoiding significant risks for the company. For this reason, only reports relating to severe compliance risks will be received and processed through this channel, particularly those belonging to the field of white-collar crime (e.g. acts of corruption), breaches of trust (e.g. theft), violations of antitrust law and data protection.

The existing culture of trust at KRONES constitutes the foundation of this system. For that reason, the whistleblower portal is to be used responsibly. A whistleblower is encouraged to only provide information whose correctness the whistleblower is convinced about to the best of its knowledge and belief.

For the sake of easier legibility, this portal does not make separate reference to male or female employees; when referring to "employee", both genders are included. No discrimination is intended in any way.

Why should I submit a report?
Compliance with statutory, social and company-internal rules is part of a positive and open company culture.

Perhaps you are aware of damaging behaviour or risks which might endanger KRONES. Your report will help us reveal possible financial damage or harm to our reputation at an early stage and ensure the long-term success of KRONES!
What sort of reports will help your organisation?
Reports about violations of legal and organisation-internal regulations will be recorded and forwarded.

You will receive detailed information on the possible categories of a report during the reporting process.
What is the process for submitting a report? How do I set up a postbox?
To submit an anonymous or personalised report, start by clicking the "Submit report" button located on the top left side of our introduction page.
There are 4 steps to the report process:
1. First, you will be asked to read the information on the protection of your anonymity and to respond to a security query.
2. On the following page, you will be asked about the category of your report.
3. On the report page, you can elaborate on your report in your own words and answer questions about the case by selecting responses. You can type up to 4,096 characters into the free text field, which corresponds to a full A4 page. You may also submit a file of up to 2 MB to support your report. Please bear in mind that documents can contain information about the author. Following the submission of your report, you will receive a reference number to confirm that you have sent this report.
4. Please subsequently set up your own secured postbox. You will receive feedback from us via this postbox, including answers to questions and information about the processing status of your report.
If you already have a secured postbox, you can access it directly via the "Login" button. First, you will have to answer a security query.
As long as you do not enter any data that could reveal your identity, the KRONES Integrity System provides technical protection of your anonymity.
Please rest assured that we are interested only in the case you are reporting. Malpractices should be revealed and financial losses prevented.
How do I receive feedback and remain anonymous at the same time?
The process places the utmost importance on protecting the whistleblower. The system’s anonymity protection function is certified by an independent body.
When setting up your secured postbox, please select your own pseudonym/user name and password. Your report is kept anonymous through encryption and other specialised security measures. You will never be asked for personal information at any time during the reporting process. Do not submit any information that can be traced back to you. If you are an employee of KRONES, avoid submitting your report from a device provided by KRONES.
Via the secured postbox, an examiner will give you feedback about the further processing of your information, or ask you questions if some details are still unclear – you remain anonymous throughout the dialogue. We are interested in reports to avoid damage, not in you as a whistleblower.
