Since mid-2023, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ) has set up an anonymous whistleblowing platform. Possible legal and compliance violations can be reported to the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ via the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ Integrity Line. They are then carefully examined in order to prevent misconduct within the umbrella organisation of chambers of industry and commerce. Further information and the link to the whistleblower system can be found here.
Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations is a matter of course for the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ - both at national and international level. The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ takes violations of rules and laws very seriously. Accordingly, the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ investigates every report, clarifies the circumstances and puts an end to the misconduct.
The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ condemns all forms of corruption and bribery. The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ does not provide any benefits to third parties and does not obtain any benefits in an unlawful manner.
When working with service providers, suppliers and freelancers, procurement law is observed in accordance with internal procurement guidelines. It ensures that contracts are awarded without discrimination and in free competition.
One of our greatest strengths is the pooling of expertise of our employees from many different countries and cultures. Any form of discrimination is not compatible with our values and is therefore not tolerated.
Our employees, partner organisations, suppliers and other parties can use our anonymous whistleblower platform to report possible legal and compliance violations. The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ Integrity Line enables anonymous contact with the responsible internal office at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ. Information or concerns about possible violations of laws and/or internal guidelines can be submitted here.
Every report is carefully scrutinised. If necessary, measures are taken to prevent misconduct.
