Report a possible misconduct

Incoming reports are reviewed and processed by the respective responsible Compliance Officers. The individuals entrusted with this task act impartially, are independent, and are bound to confidentiality.

thyssenkrupp protects the interests of whistleblowers by committing to treat incoming reports confidentially and to protect whistleblowers acting in good faith, by all appropriate means, against any potential disadvantages. Where legally permissible, reports may also be submitted anonymously.

For further information on the procedure, please refer to the Rules of Procedure.

Please note: The whistleblower system is not an emergency service!

Please do not use the reporting channels of the whistleblower system to report an immediate threat to life, health or property, as the reporting channels are not designed for this purpose. If necessary, inform the relevant authorities like the police or fire department or the responsible internal security department.

There is explicitly no obligation to report to your supervisor. Non-employees should contact their business partner.

Reports of possible violations of the International Framework Agreement

This system allows you to report possible violations of the International Framework Agreement – anonymously, if you prefer.

The parties to the contract carefully monitor the observation of the principles laid out in the agreement. Your report will help reveal and counteract violations.

All employees of thyssenkrupp and third parties (e.g. employees of external companies, suppliers, customers, trade unions) have the possibility to report violations. The incoming reports will be treated with the strictest confidentiality and examined by employees' representatives in the international committee and the Labour Relations Department at thyssenkrupp AG.

thyssenkrupp guarantees that no employee will suffer any disadvantages as a result of their report. Please use the whistleblowing system responsibly.

You should only use this system to submit a report after confiding in the responsible parties on location without finding a solution.

After submitting your report, you can set up a secured postbox for further communication.
