Tasks of the attorneys of trust 

The attorneys of trust are appointed for the employees of the companies of the Schwan-STABILO group of companies and for business partners so that they can confidentially provide information about violations of binding legal regulations, the code of conduct of the companies, in particular information about corruption, other white-collar criminal acts or other serious violations of the law.

This also applies to information about personal rights violations in the professional environment.

Therefore, no one who gives a good faith indication of a suspicious situation will suffer any disadvantage.

The scope of duties of the attorneys of trust is limited to the receipt of information on criminal offenses, administrative offenses and other legal or regulatory violations of importance. However, the attorneys of trust are not a general complaints office for employees or business partners.

The attorneys of trust are also instructed and authorized to provide employees of the companies of the Schwan-STABILO group of companies with information on compliance-related issues, if this is to be done while maintaining special confidentiality.

Details

Persons who wish to contact Attorney Dr. Frank or Attorney Dr. Lo Re as attorneys of trust are provided with a special mail address and a separate telephone number. An answering machine will take messages outside of the attorney's office hours. The attorneys of trust will get back to the matter as soon as possible.

Notes may also be transmitted at any time via the FS-PP BKMS® system.
See the notes below for this.

Only if a whistleblower expressly permits it, the information will be passed on, and in principle to the Group Governance department of Schwanhäußer Industrie Holding GmbH & Co. KG. If a whistleblower so wishes, his or her name will not be mentioned, but the matter will be reported anonymously.

In due course, whistleblowers receive feedback on how their input has been assessed and what action has been taken on it.

Contacting the attorneys of trust is risk-free for a whistleblower who is still undecided. He/she can still decide afterwards that the attorneys of trust should maintain silence.

The attorneys of trust are agents of Schwanhäußer Industrie Holding GmbH & Co. KG and may therefore never give legal advice to a whistleblower that is contrary to the interests of this or any other company of the Schwan-STABILO group of companies. However, they are instructed to explain to whistleblowers the internal company procedure to be initiated in response to their information. 

Particularly protected via the FS-PP BKMS® System 

Whistleblowers also have the option of contacting the ombudsperson via the FS-PP BKMS® system. The FS-PP BKMS® system is an Internet-based reporting system that has been tested and used by many large companies and organizations, as well as by police authorities. The FS-PP BKMS® system ensures the highest level of security for whistleblowers.

The FS-PP BKMS® system gives whistleblowers the opportunity to set up a protected mailbox through which they can communicate securely with the ombudsperson without having to reveal their identity. Messages in the FS-PP BKMS® system are not traceable.
