Code of Conduct &
Supplier Code of Conduct
###BREADCRUMB###
Trust is an essential key factor for the success of an internationally operating group of companies. Good cooperation is based on the trust of customers and business partners, of the employees and the respective local business environments. This can only be achieved if high standards of social conduct such as integrity, loyalty and honesty are persistently maintained. Apart from and in addition to existing laws, it is our responsibility to establish and preserve universally valid core values that guide our conduct and should form the basis for each and every entrepreneurial activity.
Whistleblowing
System
###BREADCRUMB###
BOWE offers the possibility to contact an internal, outsourced and independent whistleblower portal in case of suspicion or knowledge of illegal or unethical actions and thus to contribute to the detection of violations of rules. It is possible to report misconduct by employees in our group of companies as well as by our suppliers and service providers with regard to possible violations of the law or actions that are harmful to the company, such as corruption, bribery, fraud, other criminal offences, child labour, slavery, lack of occupational safety, exploitation and discrimination. Whistleblowers will not suffer any disadvantage as a result of making a report. Reports can be made in German and English. Reports can also be made anonymously if desired.
If you have concrete, justified indications of legal violations or breaches of rules at BOWE or suspect such violations, you have the following options for contacting us:
- by web form
- by phone: +49 221 2052-547
- by fax: +49 221 2052-1
- by email: c.schork@heuking.de
The confidential reporting office (WhistleFox) can be contacted around the clock by web form, email, fax or post and by telephone every working day during normal of-fice hours. The contact person is Dr Christoph Schork, attorney-at-law:
Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek
Attn. Dr Christoph Schork
Magnusstr. 13
50672 Cologne
Germany
In addition, there is the possibility of reporting to official external reporting offices. These are, for example:
- the external reporting office of the federal government at the Federal Office of Justice
- external reporting offices of the respective federal state
- specific responsible external reporting offices, e.g. at the Federal Cartel Office
Please note, that the whistleblowing system is not intended for complaints. If you are dissatisfied with regards to the products or services of the BOWE GROUP, please contact your respective contact person in the company.
