Whistleblowing System
The Group has set up compliance helpdesks (whistleblowing contacts) to be contacted by employees regarding inquiries about compliance and for the reporting of any dishonest conduct. In October 2021, an external law firm helpdesk was added and the helpdesk services became available in English and Chinese as well. Further, we have provided all employees of the Group with information about these helpdesks via a card which is distributed to the employees of the Group to carry with them, as well as internal groupware, training sessions, and other means of communication. Through these and other initiatives, we are striving to reinforce the helpdesk system and improve its reliability.
Upon inquiry or notification of any dishonest conduct, the Group will investigate the facts and take corrective and preventive actions. In accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act and to thoroughly protect whistleblowers, the whistleblowing system prohibits the dismissal or any other disadvantageous treatment of a person for their whistleblowing.
