Dear colleagues, dear external reporters,

Ethical and legally compliant conduct is a high priority for PETER/LACKE in its own business activities and in its relationships with all business partners, customers and employees. Due to the strong international growth of the PETER/LACKE Group and the increasing legal requirements, the topic of compliance has become considerably more important. In this context, PETER/LACKE has set up a whistleblower procedure that enables individuals, companies and other organizations to report violations of applicable law (e.g. bribery, fraud, violation of human rights and environmental regulations), of the PETER/LACKE Group's internal guidelines (e.g. Code of Conduct) or of the PETER/LACKE Group's Supplier Code of Conduct, or concerns regarding a potential or actual violation of these regulations.

Your information will be taken seriously and you are assured that you will not be disadvantaged in any way as a result of a justified report, in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act HinSchG.

Notifications are made in accordance with our internal guidelines, which are based on the Supply Chain Duty of Care Act LkSG §8 are processed. Here you will find information on the processing of your personal data:
