Complaint Procedure according to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act

Complaint Procedure at LkSG

As part of the implementation of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), DESY is obliged, among other things, to establish a complaints procedure.
Whistleblowers who observe misconduct or an increased risk with regard to the requirements specified in the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act can contact the lawyer of trust appointed by DESY. The person providing the information can remain anonymous to DESY if desired.

Description of the Complaint Procedure

After the initial receipt of the information, an assessment is carried out in accordance with the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. After the internal preliminary review, the matter is coordinated for further processing in accordance with the LkSG.
The facts of the case are clarified while maintaining the anonymity of the person providing the information. Once the investigation has been completed, you will be informed in writing of the outcome of the complaints procedure.

 

Submitting Complaints

If you have observed any indications of misconduct or an increased risk with regard to the requirements set out in the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, please use the following online portal to contact us. Anonymously if you wish.

Important information about confidentiality

All reports or complaints can be submitted anonymously. You do not have to disclose your contact details. Dr Bojahr will deal with the matter and coordinate further action with the law firm. A complaints procedure will be initiated.

The same applies to the external complaints office. You can also submit information or complaints there without giving your contact details. You can leave your name without DESY being informed. The complaints procedure is carried out in coordination with DESY Compliance. The confidential lawyers are bound to secrecy towards DESY unless you authorise the disclosure of your contact details.
