Compliance with and adherence to rules, laws and internal regulations is a top priority for the STARRAG Group ("STARRAG"). Any misconduct must be identified at an early stage, dealt with and stopped immediately.

A whistleblower system specially created for this purpose enables the submission of such information at any time in German, English, French or Chinese, in consideration of the principle of confidentiality.
The whistleblower system guarantees the greatest possible protection for whistleblowers, those affected, and the employees involved in clarifying the information. We promise not to take any measures to identify anonymous whistleblowers who do not abuse our whistleblowing system.

Investigations will be conducted with the highest level of confidentiality. Information will be handled in a fair, expeditious and protected process as follows:
