Heraeus SpeakUp – the Compliance Communication Channel
For companies and employees, it is a joint responsibility to comply with all applicable rules and regulations. Part of a good compliance culture is that compliance violations and unethical behavior can be reported confidentially and without fear of retaliation. To this end, Heraeus offers the globally available compliance communication channel "Heraeus SpeakUp," which is available to all internal and external stakeholders.
Heraeus SpeakUp enables employees and other business partners, especially suppliers and customers, to inform Heraeus confidentially about unethical behavior and possible compliance violations.
Heraeus welcomes employees to first raise possible compliance violations with supervisors, local Compliance Officers (CO) or GBU Compliance Officers. If this does not seem possible or purposeful to the whistleblower, reporting of compliance violations should be done via Heraeus SpeakUp. Alternatively, reporting to the external ombudsman appointed by Heraeus is also possible.
