It is important to us at grandega that what is written in our Code of Conduct are not just empty words. For this reason, we have launched the whistleblower system, which is intended to enable all people who are in contact with us to anonymously address critical points or things that did not go well.

The grandega compliance information system is a central contact point for information and reports about possible violations and compliance issues with regard to our organization. Anyone can anonymously leave a note here if questions or compliance issues arise.

All employees, but also business partners, suppliers and their employees, affected persons in our value chain and other third parties with a professional context can and are asked to use the grandega compliance notice system.

Yes, all reports are treated confidentially. The identity of the whistleblower will be protected and, of course, no retaliation will be taken.

Once a report is received, it is reviewed by our Value Council, which is responsible for preserving and strengthening our values. Depending on the nature of the violation, appropriate measures will be taken to clarify the matter and initiate remedial action. If it is important to you to receive more information about the consequences of your report, we can only encourage you to submit a non-anonymous tip with your contact information and a request for information. Here too, your data and comments will be treated as strictly confidential.
