In order to put our company principle "We comply with the applicable laws and with internal policies" into practice, we need to be able to identify potential misconduct at an early stage. This requires, among other things, that we are informed of potential compliance violations.
Compliance violations occur when applicable law or internal policies are violated by or vis-à-vis our employees in the performance of their duties.

If you notice signs of a potential compliance violation, you can report them through the following channels:
