Ethic Line channels Say Us and Ombudsman
Reliable reporting channels for internal and external stakeholders and the protection of employee whistle-blowers against sanctions are indispensable for effective compliance, because they help ensure that possible misconduct is reported, thoroughly investigated and brought to light.
Channels for reporting misconduct
In order to obtain knowledge of any compliance violations, we provide various ways for internal and external parties to report them. The compliance reporting channel “Say Us,” the Ombudsman and accounting complaints are protected channels that LOMGroup employees and shareholders can use to raise concerns about possible violations, confidentially and if desired, also anonymously.
In addition, possible misconduct can also be reported directly via the Managing Board, in particular to the Compliance Officers in the individual corporate units or to the Compliance Officer of LOMGroup directly . Our employees make regular use of this reporting channel.
Employees who report compliance violations at LOMGroup are protected by a special guideline that prohibits sanctions of any kind when reports are made in good faith. Thus, anyone who reports possible violations in good faith may not be disadvantaged in any way at LOMGroup. LOMGroup is a strong supporter of Wisthleblowing.
