Information about the whistleblower system

Protection of persons who report breaches of Union law - Direction EU 2019/1937

Our code of conduct set out, among other things, the human rights and environmental-related expectations and requirements for all suppliers with whom we have business relationships. Since rff values an open corporate culture, every employee and interested parties are encouraged to become aware of compliance risks to contact our contact point with confidence.

We have a whistleblower system that enables the anonymous transmission of information on relevant compliance issues worldwide. Reports to rff can be made by email, telephone or via the AGA whistleblower system

Reporting process

If you have any questions, the further contact method will be agreed and recorded.

A report can be submitted (also completely anonymously) via the GlobaLeaks tip reporting system. For this purpose, the company is provided with an individual link to the system through which the information can be reported (a QR code will also be provided to you). No registration is required. When reporting, a security code is generated which the person providing the information must file or save and which allows subsequent access to the report and processing (commenting and anonymous communication with the reporting office). When a new report is received, the reporting office receives a notification by email. The details (content and documents) remain in the system and are stored securely there.
