Compliance
The whistle-blower system
Within the Younus Group, great importance is attached to compliance and integrity.
It is therefore requested of all our employees to respect and follow applicable laws and official regulations. The same applies to our internal instructions and guidelines.
This whistle-blower system helps to identify any infringements of the law and regulations quickly and to put an end to proven misconduct. After all, infringements of laws and guidelines can pose serious harm to the company, its employees, business partners, and even the general public.
Use our whistle-blower system if you have concrete evidence of serious infringements against applicable laws, guidelines or company principles. Particularly serious infringements include:
- Corruption, competition law and money laundering offences
- Theft, breach of trust and enrichment offences
- Infringements against securities conditions and illegal use of insider information
- Falsification and suppression of contracts, reports or records
- Serious violations of physical and psychological integrity, privacy and data protection
- Misconduct in relation to accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and balancing
- Serious infringements against environmental conditions
- Irregularities which can seriously damage the company’s reputation
- Infringements of executives and board members.
Please bear in mind that all details you give can lead to decisions which may have consequences for the employees of our Group and third parties. We therefore request that you only provide us with such information if it is correct and complete to the best of your knowledge.
Confidential handling
Selected employees of our Group accept the incoming information and forward it to an internal body where necessary, e.g. the compliance manager of the department concerned, for further investigation.
The follow-up of the information is strictly confidential. Your name or circumstances that may disclose your identity as a whistle-blower will not be passed on to the accused or the public. Disclosure of identity could only become necessary in exceptional cases, e.g. due to legal conditions.
