Establishment of an anonymous whistleblower system

Comline Elektronik Elektrotechnik GmbH – hereinafter referred to as Comline – provides you as a whistleblower with a secure reporting channel. According to the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), this term refers to a system that allows you to submit anonymous tips confidentially.

Confidentiality in this context means that “a reporting channel is securely designed, established and operated in such a way that the confidentiality of the identity of the whistleblower and third parties mentioned in his or her report is maintained”. The confidentiality of a whistleblower must be guaranteed, he or she must not suffer reprisals, discrimination or disadvantages because of a report.

You want to point out possible grievances in an uncomplicated way, have suggestions or complaints, but would like to remain anonymous?

Employees and other interested persons can report any incidents or violations confidentially without being prosecuted. To protect them and their information, this is done by forwarding them to an external, secure platform.

Your identity and personal data will not be collected or stored as part of your notice unless you expressly consent to this.

The contents of your message sent in confidence will be forwarded anonymously to Comline by the whistleblower portal vertraulichmelden.de used, but under no circumstances with details of your identity.
