The BMW Group's notification system is responsible for providing information on specific or potential legal violations by employees within the Group. Business partners, customers or other third parties also have the option of reporting information around the clock via various reporting channels if there is concrete evidence of violations of the rules. In this way, risks can be identified and addressed at an early stage and, if necessary, appropriate remedies can be provided.
Confidentiality and the protection of informants are paramount here. On request, information can also be provided anonymously. It is in line with our Group-wide procedure not to take any steps to identify an informant who reports anonymously.
In addition to managers, local compliance departments and employee representatives as traditional points of contact, BMW Group employees and external whistleblowers have various reporting channels available.
