The Compliance Organization
In 2010 Carl Friederichs set up a compliance management system. The previous regulations have been combined in an integrated compliance system. The aim was to meet requirements in the international competition, in particular in cooperation with the chassis suppliers such as Daimler AG or Volkswagen AG. The standardised code of conduct has been incorporated into our compliance policy and is accessible to all employees via the intranet at any time. In order to secure and impart latest compliance standards in-house training takes place on a regular basis held by external specialists. In January 2017 an ombudsman was introduced as latest module of our compliance management system for the time being.
Our Ombudsman
Due to the update of the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), there are two mandatory reporting channels (internal and external). An ombudsman system has been implemented for the internal reporting channel of our organisation. The external reporting channel is set up at the Federal Office of Justice (BfJ). Furthermore, whistleblower systems are set up for special areas of responsibility at the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and the Federal Cartel Office (BKartA).
The ombudsman established for the internal reporting channel acts as the central reporting point for irregular business practices. He is the contact person for internal and external whistleblowers and those seeking advice, who can also contact him anonymously. He treats the facts brought to his attention confidentially. The ombudsman is neither entitled nor obliged to inform Carl Friederichs GmbH of the identity of the whistleblower resp. the person in search of advice or of the facts disclosed without the explicit consent of the whistleblower. In addition, the lawyer's duty of confidentiality protects the whistleblower. With this ombudsman system and the associated optional anonymity, Carl Friederichs GmbH far exceeds the minimum standard required by law. For the purpose of protected communication channels for employees, lawyer Dr. Dr. Jens Müller as external ombudsman was appointed by Carl Friederichs GmbH as of 01.01.2017.
