1 Content warning

The contents of this website, provided free of charge and freely accessible, have been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the journalistic guides and news provided free of charge and freely accessible. Named contributions reflect the opinion of the respective author and not necessarily the opinion of the provider. Merely calling up the free and freely accessible content does not create any contractual relationship between the user and the provider; there is no legal obligation on the part of the provider in this respect.

At the time of their creation, the provider checked the contents of the external links for possible legal infringements. No such infringements were evident at that time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current or future presentation and content of the linked websites. The creation of external links does not imply that the provider accepts or approves the contents of these links. The provider cannot reasonably be expected to permanently monitor the external links, unless there are specific indications of legal infringements. Should any such legal infringements become known, however, the affected external links will be deleted immediately.

5 Contact points for whistleblowers
(Whistleblower Protection Act HinSchG)

Responsible, sustainable and lawful conduct is an integral part of GIWA GmbH. The external whistleblower system we have commissioned is open to all employees, business partners, customers or other third parties for information on concrete or possible legal violations. In this way, risks can be identified and addressed at an early stage and appropriate remedial action can be taken if necessary. Confidentiality and the protection of whistleblowers have top priority. If desired, information can also be provided anonymously.

Reports can be made completely anonymously at any time via the whistleblower platform. Of course, our usual reporting channels (e-mail, telephone, letter, etc.) are also available.
