Whistleblower system to promote responsible and correct behaviour

At KIEHL, value is placed on acting responsibly, fairly and ethically in accordance with the rules. The codes of conduct for both employees and suppliers provide valuable guidance.

The whistleblower system offers employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and all those who come into contact with companies of the KIEHL Group the opportunity to confidentially report violations of legal regulations or internal KIEHL guidelines.

In particular, the following can be reported:

  • Non-compliance with internal company compliance rules (KIEHL Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct of the KIEHL Group)
  • Non-compliance with legal requirements
  • Breaches of duty in the field of labour law and work commitment
  • Violations in relation to human rights, such as discrimination, harassment, disregard for occupational health and safety, child labour
  • Disregard for social standards, environmental protection, sustainability, etc.
  • Theft, fraud, embezzlement, financial offences and corruption
  • Violations, for example in the areas of data protection, competition and antitrust law, product safety, betrayal of trade secrets, money laundering, environmental protection

What is important to us?

  • The protection of whistleblowers is important to us. Reports are treated confidentially and are protected from negative consequences.
  • Whistleblowing helps us to recognise irregularities and gives us the opportunity to rectify them in order to build and strengthen trust.
  • The system should be used responsibly for legitimate concerns and not be abused to deliberately provide false or defamatory information.

How can you report your information?

Reports can be made anonymously to our whistleblower reporting centre. The contact person, Mrs. Theresa Liebchen, is also the external data protection officer.
