12 QUESTIONS & MISBEHAVIOUR You might be unsure about what to do in certain situations. It is important to make use of advice and support for any questions or uncertainties or if you see or suspect incorrect behaviour. In this case, you should contact your superiors or the Compliance Organisation (see below) in confidence. Repor t ing Inf r ingements In the event of violations of our Code of Conduct, everybody is called upon to inform their superiors or the Compliance Organisation. In cases that might concern the local management itself, only the Compliance Department should be informed. Reports can also be made anonymously via our Compliance Whistleblower System „Tell it Cody“. Every report received will be carefully examined and treated in confidence by the Compliance Organisation. We promise special protection and support for every individual who makes an honest and justified complaint or report. Sanctions cannot be made against whistleblowers on the basis of a report alone. This is also the case if information proves to be incorrect as long as it was provided in good faith. Consequences of Violat ions Violations of these standard rules of conduct and principles cause us lasting harm and can entail all kinds of consequences and sanctions. These include financial and criminal law consequences that not only have negative impacts on the group as a whole but also on each individual. For that reason, Wietersdorfer actively deals with any infringements of the terms of the Code of Conduct and takes appropriate measures to clarify the situation. Non-compliance can entail measures under criminal, civil and labour law.
