Whistleblower Protection Act

Legal basis

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 23, 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law has been applicable since December 17, 2021. Since July 2, 2023, it has been supplemented by the Act for Better Protection of Whistleblowers (Whistleblower Protection Act - HinSchG). The aim of the Directive and the Act is to protect people who report breaches from discrimination and to give them legal certainty.

Reporting office

To implement the Directive and the Act, the companies of the Precitec Group have set up an internal “Whistleblower Protection Reporting Office”. The reporting office is open to you if you are in contact with Precitec Group companies in the course of your business activities. You can submit reports by telephone (+49 7225 684 910), by e-mail (hinweisgeber@precitec.de) or in writing (Precitec GmbH & Co. KG, Whistleblower Protection Office Draisstrasse 1, 76571 Gaggenau). If you would like a personal meeting, please let us know by e-mail or telephone.

The Reporting Office will maintain the confidentiality of the identity

• of the person making the report

• any other person named in the report.

Identities are only disclosed to the persons responsible for receiving reports or for taking any follow-up action.
