Whistle-blower protection system
Integrity Line

The whistle-blower protection system of our parent company BITZER, BITZER Integrity Line, allows all employees of the Wurm Group, business partners and other third parties to report suspected and known violations of the Wurm Code of Conduct for Employees or the Wurm Code of Conduct for Business Partners as well as any violations of applicable laws – if desired, anonymously.

Implemented with the help of an external service provider, BITZER Integrity Line has been assessed by the BITZER Data Protection Officer for compliance with data protection provisions and by IT for data security. The system enables confidential dialogue secured with special encryption. With 17 languages to choose from, whistle-blowers can submit their information in their preferred language – either in written form or as a voice message. The BITZER Group’s central legal department will review the information, after which the Head of Legal Services will decide which measures are to be taken and which Wurm employees are to be involved in processing the information.
