Online reporting platform of Maritim Hotelgruppe in the company for violations under the Whistleblower Protection Act.

Dear whistleblower,

the Maritim Hotelgruppe has set up a web-based platform for the confidential reporting of violations of the Whistleblower Protection Act within its own company. In order to fulfill our responsibility for legally compliant corporate governance, violations of the law can be reported to our ombudspersons via this online reporting portal. We would also like to encourage all employees, freelancers and temporary workers in our company to report unfair, unlawful and unethical behavior.

You can report a violation by stating your name or anonymously. Such a report will be accepted by ombudspersons appointed by us, who are experienced external lawyers committed to absolute confidentiality. If requested, our ombudspersons will treat your inquiry as strictly confidential and will first examine on their own responsibility whether a relevant violation under the standards of the Whistleblower Protection Act exists or appears plausible. Our ombudspersons will then clarify the facts together with the person of trust appointed by our company and provide you with feedback on what has become of your report.

With the platform, we fulfill our obligation to set up a whistleblower system in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act. In particular, you can thus provide information about

Violations that are punishable by law.
Violations that are subject to fines, insofar as the provision serves to protect life, limb or health or to protect the rights of employees or their representative bodies.

other violations

be reported.

Anyone who reports an alleged violation with good intentions, which is not confirmed upon closer examination, has nothing to fear. However, we would like to point out that deliberate or grossly negligent false reports can lead to criminal, civil and labor law consequences.

If you do not provide any personal data in your report, neither we nor our ombudspersons will be able to trace your report and establish your identity. In this case, you can only trace the processing of the procedure via the CODE issued. Since it is often necessary to contact you in order to verify your report, we ask you to disclose your identity confidentially, at least to our ombudsperson.

Notices can be submitted through the following reporting channels:
