Organization & Reporting Points
Organization & Reporting Points
In order to implement Compliance within the Diehl Group and to enforce the “Code of Conduct of the Diehl-Group”, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board have established a Compliance Organization. Diehl's Compliance Organization is headed by Dr. Sebastian Buss (Corporate Compliance Officer).
A Compliance Committee, also including members of the Executive Board, has been set up to regularly check the business processes for compliance with the “Code of Conduct of the Diehl-Group”, to identify Compliance issues and to investigate recognized violations. Moreover, the Corporate Compliance Officer (CCO) regularly reports to the Executive Board.
In addition, the Compliance organization includes a neutral, external ombudsman who is obliged to maintain strict confidentiality (Attorney Dr. Rainer Buchert). Diehl employees and third parties may contact him in confidence if they have observed improper business practices within companies of the Diehl Group or at suppliers.
Anyone can also report compliance violations via the following external online whistleblower tool: https://diehl.integrityline.com/frontpage
This system is open to employees, customers, suppliers and other third parties. Reports can also be submitted by telephone on +49 30 99 25 71 46. To do so, use the Company Access PIN 4367 upon request.
China: Please note that due to legal requirements, only the following reporting option is to be used for reports that you submit from China: compliance-diehl-china@roedl.cn
The reports will be processed by Diehl experts specifically authorised for this purpose. These competent persons shall act impartially. They are independent and are not bound by instructions within the scope of responsibility for the complaints procedure. Furthermore, they are bound to secrecy. The Diehl Corporate Compliance Officer (CCO) or a person authorized by him is responsible for the complaints procedure.
With the above-mentioned reporting channels, whistleblowers have the opportunity to report violations in such a way that they can usually be investigated and remedied as quickly as possible in order to prevent damage.
Therefore, as a whistleblower, you should prefer to report to one of the above-mentioned reporting points in cases where we can effectively take action against the violation within Diehl.
Whistleblower protection
Anyone who makes a report in good faith must not be subjected to sanctions or otherwise disadvantaged due to the fact that he or she has made such a report. Diehl takes measures to prevent, detect and correct retaliation.
