The heristo Group has set up a whistleblower portal where you can report serious issues concerning the respective group companies or their supply chain. If you decide to become a whistleblower, you will not face any repercussions from the heristo Group.
It is important to clarify that your report will go directly to our external ombudsman, FIRST PRIVACY BV in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who will treat it confidentially and, after an initial review, forward it to the responsible persons within the Internal Audit Department of the heristo Group. FIRST PRIVACY will respect your wishes to be either named or kept anonymous. You can find more information about the handling of your report via the privacy policy of FIRST PRIVACY
In order to provide the best anonymity, we would like to make you aware that it is safer to use the TOR browser and make your report not from the company network.
Once you have submitted your report via the platform, you will receive a 12 digit code. This code will be the acknowledgement that your report has been received. You are able to use this code to log back into the portal to also comment anonymously, answer or pose additional questions/comments and be provided with an update on the process of your report within 3 months.
Please check in periodically to answer any additional questions or receive feedback.
You can submit reports of legal violations or abusive behavior, especially but not limited in to the following areas:
Cases that are obviously not relevant will be deleted without further processing and without confirmation of receipt.
