Compliance Hotline

The Reederei Jaegers Group has set up a whistleblower reporting system in accordance with the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG). The whistleblower reporting system is available to all employees of Reederei Jaegers GmbH and its subsidiaries (Reederei Jaegers Group), former employees, business partners and other direct and indirect third-party partners. The whistleblower reporting system can be used to report possible legal violations in or in connection with the company (also includes possible violations within the supply chain).

Possible offences

Notifications within the meaning of the HinSchG are, in particular, notifications of information about or indications of possible violations of national criminal provisions, provisions subject to fines for the protection of life, limb, health or rights of employees as well as internal guidelines and other grievances in the workplace. Information on possible violations of certain federal and state legislation as well as directly applicable legal acts of the European Union are also recorded.

External reporting centres

In addition to our internal reporting centre, an external reporting centre has been set up at the Federal Ministry of Justice, which you can also contact.

In addition, you can also contact European Union institutions, organisations or other bodies. Of course, you can also contact the criminal prosecution authorities if necessary.

Confidentiality

Information about your person is voluntary. The internal reporting centre also deals with reports received anonymously. The confidential handling of your data and information is guaranteed.

Your data will always be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties. Should it be necessary to disclose your personal details to third parties due to a legal obligation or to further clarify the offence you have reported, you will be contacted beforehand.

Protection against discrimination

As a whistleblower, you will be protected by all available means against discrimination and reprisals that could arise as a result of a complaint. Discrimination, intimidation or other unfavourable measures against a whistleblower will not be tolerated and are therefore not to be feared.

Data protection

Information is processed in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. Only the personal or personally identifiable data required to process the notification procedure will be processed and stored. After completion of the procedure and existing retention periods, the personal data will be anonymised or deleted.
