Together, we can protect our company
against risks

Our business conduct is characterised by a sense of responsibility and the highest ethical principles. This is the basis we rely on when it comes to sustainably strengthening the market position and the ability to compete of the Umdasch Group. Moreover, we want the Umdasch Group to be a company which you as an employee can be proud of and which treats all of its external partners with profound integrity.

The values reflected in our Corporate Policy and the Code of Conduct help us make the right decisions and always be a fair, trustworthy and open-minded partner when cooperating with both our colleagues and our external partners. The Code of Conduct is a summary and specification of our principles and guidelines for acting responsibly and with integrity.

But taking over responsibility also means that every individual feels responsible for his or her actions. This entails that the employees of the Umdasch Group abide by the laws applicable to their area of work as well as existing internal guidelines and rules (e.g. the Code of Conduct) at all times.

To maintain the integrity of the Umdasch Group and to prevent potential damage – and especially in the interest of our external partners – the Umdasch Group strives to learn about verifiable or alleged violations of laws, the Code of Conduct or other internal guidelines and rules. For this reason, all employees and external partners are called upon to report compliance violations.

While the Umdasch Group prefers that such reports be directly addressed to the respective superior or the company headquarters (compliance officers), we also offer this whistle-blower platform for pointing out grave violations of compliance rules.

As we want to effectively protect whistle-blowers, we offer you a communication platform secured by the newest technologies, enabling you to also make anonymous reports. You will also be able to actively participate in clearing up issues by setting up a secure postbox.

Please keep in mind, however, that accusing somebody of illicit conduct can have serious consequences for this person and that individuals intentionally making untruthful statements can be prosecuted under criminal and labour law. For this reason, you are asked to use this communication platform in a truly responsible manner.

We would like to thank you in advance for your support and considerate cooperation!

  • Why should I submit a report?

    Compliance with laws and internal guidelines is part of a positive and trusting business culture.

    Maybe you are aware of harmful behaviour or risks that threaten the company. Your report helps to detect reputational and financial damage early and consequently ensures the sustainable success of the company and the continued existence of the jobs it creates.

  • Which reports will help your organisation?

    Reports on breaches of laws, the Code of Conduct or other internal guidelines and regulations are received and passed on.

    You receive detailed information on the possible categories of a report during the reporting process.

  • How does a report work, how do I set up a postbox?

    If you would like to submit a report either with your name or anonymously, click the “Submit report” button at the upper left of our information page.

    The reporting process consists of 4 steps:

    1. First you are asked to read the information on protecting your anonymity and to answer a security query.
    2. On the next page you are asked for the category of your report.
    3. On the report page, phrase your information in your own words and select answers to questions about the case. You may use up to 4,096 characters in the free-text field, which corresponds to a full DIN A4 page. You may also attach files up to 5 MB to support your report. Keep in mind that electronic documents may contain information about the author. After submitting your report you receive a reference number as proof that you submitted this report.
    4. After this, please set up your own, secured postbox. This will be used by us to send you answers, to respond to your questions and to inform you about the progress of your notification.

    If you already have a secured postbox, you can reach this postbox directly by clicking on the "Login" button. Here as well, you must first answer a security query.

    As long as you do not submit any data yourself that allows conclusions to be drawn about your identity, the BKMS® System protects your anonymity technically.

    We assure you that we are only interested in the case you are reporting. Irregularities should be exposed and financial damage averted.

  • How can I receive an answer, yet at the same time remain anonymous?

    The principle of the BKMS® System that is used is to protect the whistleblower's identity. The system's anonymity protection function is certified and can be verified by you at any time.

    When setting up your secured postbox you should choose your pseudonym/user name and password yourself. Encryption and other special security methods ensure that your report remains anonymous at all times. At no time during the reporting process will you be asked for personal information. If you wish to remain anonymous, please do not submit any information that can be traced back to your personal identity. Also, please do not submit your report on a PC provided by your employer.

    The person in charge of your report will contact you via your secured postbox to provide information about the status of your report or to ask further questions if certain details need to be clarified - your anonymity will be always protected during this process. We are interested in these reports in order to prevent damages, not to get information about the person who submitted them.
