Compliance

Blowing the whistle

Dear employees and business partners,

Even if you personally comply with all laws, regulations and guidelines on a daily basis, you may learn of violations by third parties at Biotest or receive information about unethical, illegal or irresponsible actions. If you identify actual evidence of misconduct and wish to report it, you may do so in the following ways:

  1. If the misconduct relates to criminal or certain administrative offences or internal guidelines in connection with Biotest's operations, you may first contact the local Compliance Officer or the Corporate Compliance Department.
     
  2. If the misconduct relates to human rights in connection with Biotest suppliers or operations at Biotest itself, you may first contact your manager, the local Compliance Officer or the Corporate Compliance Department.
    ​​​​​​​
  3. If you wish to report complaints concerning environmental violations both at Biotest itself and at Biotest suppliers or about health and occupational safety deficiencies at Biotest itself, you may first contact your colleagues in the Environmental, Health and Safety Department at ehs@biotest.com, +49(0) 6103 801 666.

If the matter you raise cannot be resolved by the above contacts or if you feel uncomfortable discussing the matter with them, you may, as far as misconduct according to 1) through 3) is concerned, openly or anonymously, report to the Biotest SpeakUp Helpline. You can seek advice there, raise concerns, report misconduct or contribute information to an investigation in confidence and without fear of retaliation.
