Procedure
The external Compliance Officer receives the report and confirms receipt of the report to the whistleblower within seven days at the latest.
The external Compliance Officer checks the validity of the report received, in particular whether there are sufficient indications of a violation of laws or the KraussMaffei Code of Compliance and Ethics. He or she will maintain contact with the whistleblower - as far as possible - and request further information if necessary. At the request of the whistleblower, a personal meeting is also possible. If there are sufficient indications of such a violation, the Compliance Officer shall forward the facts of the case to the Group Compliance Officer of KraussMaffei in a permissible form (agreed with the whistleblower) for further investigation.
If there are sufficient indications of such a violation, KraussMaffei will conduct a detailed investigation of the facts. The entire investigation is carried out in compliance with the relevant laws, data protection and taking into account the interests of all parties involved; it is conducted neutrally and objectively in compliance with the presumption of innocence. If the report concerns specific persons, they will be informed of the report (in anonymized form if necessary) and given the opportunity to comment. In particular, the investigation will also examine which measures are suitable, necessary and appropriate in the individual case in order to punish any violations identified and to counteract the risk of such violations in the future. The investigation of the facts is carried out centrally at KraussMaffei; however, the original responsibility for responding to identified violations remains with the respective KraussMaffei Group companies. It may therefore be necessary to pass on information (if necessary in anonymized form) in connection with the report to the responsible persons at these Group companies.
Insofar as internal inquiries or investigations are not affected and the rights of the persons who are the subject of a report or who are named in the report are not impaired, feedback will be provided to the whistleblower within the statutory period, usually within 3 months.
