The internal reporting office of the Friedrichstadt-Palast Betriebsgesellschaft mbH

Due to the requirements of the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), we are obligated to ensure the protection of reporting persons (whistleblowers) when uncovering and disclosing wrongdoing and legal violations within our company. To this end, we have set up an internal reporting office for you.

A whistleblower is someone who, by making a report, helps to identify misconduct or dangers relating to our business activities and to prevent them in the future. This includes all illegal, abusive and criminal activities and any violation of legal obligations.

We want to encourage openness and will support whistleblowers who report incidents covered by this principle, even if it later turns out to be unfounded.

Whistleblowers should not have to fear any disadvantages because they have reported such incidents. Whistleblowers must not be threatened or subjected to any form of revenge. Anyone involved in such actions must expect to be subject to measures under labor law. In certain cases, whistleblowers also have the right to sue for damages in an employment tribunal.

Conversely, if we find that a whistleblower has deliberately made false accusations because this gives him or her personal advantages, the whistleblower must also expect action under employment law.

Grievances could arise from legal violations or safety-related issues, for example. Trifles such as „Someone is parking in my parking space today“ or „There has been moldy cheese in the refrigerator for two days“ are not considered grievances in the sense of the HinSchG and this guide and are not processed by our internal reporting office.

What is the purpose of the report office?

The reporting office receives and processes your information about possible grievances within our company.Your first point of contact should be our internal reporting office.Of course, your report will be treated confidentially and you will also be able to make an anonymous report that cannot be traced back to you.

Depending on the content of the report, the internal reporting office may need to communicate with various entities.On the one hand, these may be other internal offices, departments and parties involved, and on the other hand, external offices (e.g., law enforcement agencies).

How can I contact the internal reporting office?
