PSA Whistleblower Plattform

You can use the anonymous whistleblower system (“whistleblower platform”) to submit anonymous reports on the following legal violations (see Section 3 HSchG and Section 40 FM-GwG):

• Financial services, financial products and financial markets as well as prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing
• Internal violations of the Financial Market-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)
• Environmental protection
• Consumer protection
• Protection of privacy and personal data as well as security of network and information systems
• Union rules on competition and state aid (“Antitrust, Competition and State Aid Law”)
• Prevention and punishment of criminal offenses in accordance with Sections 302 to 309 of the StGB (German Criminal Code) ("Corruption")
• Product security and product compliance
• Public procurement
• Road safety
• Radiation protection and nuclear safety
• Food and feed safety, animal health and animal welfare
• Public health
• Violations of the law to the detriment of the financial interests of the Union
• Violation of internal market regulations and corporate tax regulations

Reports must contain specific information about the facts of the crime and should be truthful. If you are not sure whether the facts you have reported are true, we ask you to mark them as a suspicion.

Anonymous whistleblowers are entitled to protection (Section 6 HSchG). Each report is reviewed for validity unless the report does not fall within the scope of the law or the report does not contain any evidence of validity. Obviously false reports will be rejected by PSA and under certain circumstances prosecuted legally.
