Whistleblower Portal

Setting up an anonymous whistleblower system

Autec Sondermaschinenbau GmbH – hereinafter referred to as the Autec Group – provides you as a whistleblower with a secure reporting channel. According to the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), this term is to be understood as a system that enables you to submit anonymous information confidentially.

Confidentiality in this context means that “a reporting channel is designed, set up and operated in such a secure way that the confidentiality of the identity of the whistleblower and third parties mentioned in his report is preserved.” The confidentiality of a whistleblower must be guaranteed, he must not suffer reprisals, discrimination or disadvantages because of a report.

You want to point out possible grievances in an uncomplicated way, have suggestions or complaints, but would like to remain anonymous?

Employees and other interested persons can report any incidents or violations confidentially without being prosecuted. To protect them and their information, this is done by forwarding them to an external, secure platform.

Your identity and personal data will not be collected or stored as part of your notice, unless you expressly consent to this.

The contents of your confidentially sent message will be forwarded anonymously to the Autec Group by the whistleblower portal vertraulichmelden.de used, but under no circumstances with information about your identity.
