Preh CORPORATE COMPLIANCE

The reputation and success of our company is affected by the specific behavior of each PREH employee. The rules laid down in our Code of Conduct oblige every employee to obey the applicable laws, standards and internal rules and regulations and constitute the basic principles governing the conduct of all employees.

WHISTLEBLOWER SYSTEM AND COMPLIANCE

Preh GmbH has implemented a comprehensive whistleblower system to ensure the integrity and compliance of our business activities. This system serves to protect our company, our employees and business partners, as well as to meet the requirements of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), particularly with regard to the protection of human rights and our environment.
 
Our whistleblower system allows the confidential reporting of specific indications of possible misconduct, rule violations or legal infringements within the PREH Group or our supply chain. The whistleblower system guides you step by step through the reporting process. The report is processed by internal specialists (if necessary, with the involvement of other internal and external resources) and is free of charge for the whistleblower. If requested, reports can be made anonymously to ensure the greatest possible protection for the whistleblower.
 
Upon receipt of a report, our team processes the report while maintaining strict confidentiality and the principles of fair proceedings for the parties involved. We ensure that every whistleblower who reports in good faith is protected from any disadvantage, possible retaliation or other negative consequences and need not fear any reprisals. We will investigate any violations of these principles in accordance with the same process and impose appropriate sanctions. The exact procedure can be found in the rules of procedure.

ADVANTAGES AND OBJECTIVES

By implementing this comprehensive system, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
1. Early detection of violations
2. Fast investigation and rectification of misconduct
3. Promotion of an ethical corporate culture
4. Compliance with legal requirements
5. Protection of human rights and the environment along our supply chain
 
Our whistleblower system is a central element of our compliance strategy and underscores our commitment to responsible corporate behavior.
