Whistleblower system
Complaints mechanism
Aurubis views integrity and compliance as essential components of entrepreneurial success. In this context, Aurubis's whistleblower system plays an important role in uncovering potential violations of laws or regulations or misconduct.
The digital whistleblower system from Aurubis is available around the clock to report possible legal violations or other actions that could harm the company. The system allows users to submit information in ten different languages and completely anonymously.
There can be many reasons for a fact-based report, for example:
- criminal offenses such as corruption, fraud or theft
- violations of antitrust law
- discrimination on the basis of race, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, (social) background, religion, ideology, ethnicity, physical or mental disability, marital status
- harassment, hostility, threats, extortion, bullying or exclusion
- Human rights or environmental risks as well as violations of human rights or environmental obligations arising from Aurubis's business activities in its own business unit or at direct or indirect suppliers.
Whistleblowers will not suffer any disadvantage as a result of reporting. The anonymity of the whistleblower towards Aurubis is guaranteed in every case. All reports are rigorously investigated and the whistleblower is kept informed of the progress of the proceedings.
More information on the complaints procedure can be found in the Rules of Procedure.
