Whistleblower
System

Our BayWa Compliance Whistleblower System offers all employees, business partners, suppliers and their employees, people affected in our supply chain and third parties with a professional context a protected communication channel for queries and notifications concerning compliance issues.
This whistleblower system is the “internal reporting point” within the meaning of the German Whistleblower Protection Act or comparable other national legislation within the EU.

Our subsidiaries use our whistleblower system as a shared internal reporting point. Our subsidiaries with more than 250 employees have commissioned the parent company to provide this whistleblower system for these larger subsidiaries, too. Internal regulations guarantee the confidentiality of the information that relates to these subsidiaries.

General information for whistleblowers

All employees are expressly encouraged to approach the manager responsible for them or BayWa Compliance Organisation if they perceive a lack of clarity regarding the rules in force, have questions in this respect or notice that the conduct of somebody working for the enterprise or of one of our business partners is dishonourable or conflicts with regulations. This procedure can prevent a small problem becoming a big issue. Questions and information to the responsible manager or the BayWa Compliance Organisation should be made openly.

This whistleblower system is also the complaints procedure within the meaning of the German Supply Chain Duty of Care Act (“LkSG”). This should enable people to inform about human rights and environment-related risks and violations of human rights and environmental duties arising from the economic actions of our company in its own business field or of a direct supplier to our company.
