In order to ensure that employees and external parties can report violations anonymously, the whistleblower portal has been set up to supplement the existing internal communication channels. This allows whistleblowers to report serious breaches of regulations and criminal acts.
To ensure anonymity, no data that could be used to identify the reporting person is collected or stored by default.
You report a violation in our portal and write down your personal report number and the unique report PIN. You can only use this data to access your report again later and see responses from OMNINET. To do this, use the “Show already submitted report” button.
The German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) applies to violations of EU law and national law, particularly criminal offences or administrative offences that may endanger health or life.
The purpose of the Whistleblower Directive is, on the one hand, to uncover misconduct or criminal behaviour such as fraud, corruption and other irregularities within companies before they become public and lead to consequences for the company. On the other hand, it aims to provide whistleblowers throughout the EU with stronger and more consistent protection against retaliation.
