Use the SERVICE 1 Whistleblower Portal as a confidential communication channel to safely report potential violations of laws or policies, anonymously if you wish.
The portal meets the highest security standards. State-of-the-art technical measures and comprehensive end-to-end encryption ensure that your identity cannot be traced and that no link is established between the report and the individual. The hosting is provided at the DATEV data center in Nuremberg.
How to submit a report
The system guides you step by step through the reporting process and allows you to submit your information securely and in compliance with data protection regulations. Upon request, you will receive personalized, password-protected access that allows you to remain in contact with us anonymously even after submitting your report.
If your report requires further clarification, you can submit additional information, ask questions, or continue the conversation at any time—similar to a chat and, of course, still anonymously.
Your reports help us identify risks early on and ensure our integrity, data security, and fairness in the long term.
