Dear whistleblower,
A fair whistleblowing system is an important instrument of good corporate governance. It helps to uncover legal and regulatory violations quickly, investigate them without delay and put an end to proven misconduct. After all, violations of laws and policies can cause serious damage to the company, its employees and business partners, but also to the general public.
Use this whistleblower system to report a concrete suspicion of a violation to the Compliance Officers of the Zertus Group.
On the following pages you have the possibility to describe your suspicious case in more detail and to assign it to a category of possible violations.
After sending your report, your suspected case will be forwarded to the Compliance Officers of the Zertus Group (Philipp Arnim, Alexander Tiedemann, Sören Aurin) as well as to the Data Protection Officer of the Zertus Group and processed promptly.
Submitting a report - but correctly!
In order for your report to be processed and investigated appropriately, it is important that the report is as specific as possible.
It is helpful if you consider the five W-questions in your report:
Who? What? When? How? Where?
Please note:
In order to protect your anonymity, it is of high importance that you consider the rules listed below when reporting suspicious cases.
For further anonymization, we would also like to ask you, if you do not speak Englisch, to first formulate reports in your native language, translate them into Englisch using translation software (e.g. Google Translator) and enter this translated report in the tool.
Yours sincerely
Your Zertus Compliance Team
