Internal reporting office of the August Wilhelm Scheer Institute

Maintaining effective compliance is the highest priority for the August Wilhelm Scheer Institute. An important part of this is fostering a culture in which unlawful behavior can be reported and addressed. Violations of applicable law must be identified at an early stage in order to be able to take appropriate countermeasures and avert possible damage to those affected, employees, business partners, customers, the company and other third parties. The compliance ombudsman and the whistleblower system certified according to ISO 27001 https://scheer-group.hintbox.eu/ are components of the compliance system and the compliance culture of the August Wilhelm Scheer Institute.

 

Who can report violations?

The August Wilhelm Scheer Institute's whistleblower system is available not only to all employees, but also to third parties, external partners, service providers and suppliers. The whistleblower system is used to report and investigate violations of the law or possible violations of internal regulations and guidelines, in particular the Code of Conduct of the August-Wilhelm Scheer Institute. Information about environmental and human rights violations by the August Wilhelm Scheer Institute or its suppliers and service providers can also be reported via the system.
