Complaints procedure (LkSG*) & whistleblower system

*LkSG=German law on corporate due diligence to prevent human rights violations in supply chains

We live a culture of openness, transparency, integrity and accountability in which our employees as well as customers, suppliers, business partners and other third parties can report risks and/or violations in our activities and business environment without fear of reprisals/disadvantages.

Internal and external persons can use our whistleblower system to inform us of violations or risks. This enables us to identify and eliminate risks as early as possible, take appropriate measures, prevent further misconduct and limit potential environmental, human, financial and other adverse effects.

Our internal reporting channel, which we provide via an external, certified service provider, can be used to anonymously report information on risks or violations of the LkSG; EU law; national law and the ZVEI-VDMA Code of Conduct (the code of conduct applicable within TRILUX) without fear of negative consequences. 

NOTE: This whistleblower system is a TRILUX Group complaints procedure. TRILUX GmbH & Co. KG, Arnsberg hereby fulfills its legal obligation to provide a complaints procedure for all internal and external persons who have knowledge of an existing risk or a violation of the legal positions and environmental obligations protected under the LkSG in their own business area or by suppliers or who are directly affected by this.The whistleblower system and the guideline have been adapted in accordance with the requirements of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG). Here you can quickly and easily report sincere and serious concerns about misconduct or grievances relating to human rights and/or environmental risks or breaches of duty (see also § 2 LkSG), e.g. unequal treatment, health and safety risks, protection against abuse of power, forced and child labor and environmental risks such as emissions and contamination of air, water and soil or the export of hazardous substances.
