Whistleblower Protection Act

General Information

At SPS electronic GmbH, we take responsibility for our actions and comply with applicable laws. To help us continuously improve, we have established a form that allows the reporting of actual and potential concerns.

The form is an alternative to the normal reporting channels and can be used to report actual, potential or suspected illegal or unethical incidents, such as bribery, fraud, serious misconduct, harassment, discrimination, violence, criminal behaviour or other violations of applicable laws.

No employee will be penalised for raising a concern or reporting misconduct in good faith.

You may choose to remain anonymous.

We encourage you to include your name in the report so that details can be clarified afterwards if necessary.

The whistleblower system may not be used to make false accusations against others or to report untrue information.
