At HF Press+LipidTech GmbH, employees, business partners and other stakeholders have the opportunity to report suspected or known illegal or unethical conduct through an independent, externally operated whistleblower portal, thereby contributing to the detection of violations and misconduct.

Reports may be submitted regarding misconduct by employees within our group of companies as well as by our suppliers and service providers in relation to potential legal violations or actions harmful to the company, such as corruption, bribery, fraud, other criminal offences, child labour, slavery, inadequate occupational health and safety, exploitation, and discrimination.

Individuals submitting a report will not suffer any disadvantage as a result of making a report. Reports can be submitted in both German and English. If desired, reports may also be submitted anonymously.

If you have concrete and substantiated indications of legal violations or breaches of regulations within the Possehl Group, or if you suspect such violations, you can contact us through the following channels:

• Online Form: WhistleFox Reporting Portal
• Telephone: +49 221 2052-547
• Fax: +49 221 2052-1
• Email: schork@heuking.de

The confidential reporting office (WhistleFox) can be contacted around the clock via the online form, email, fax or post, and by telephone during normal business hours on working days.

Dr. Christoph Schork is available as your contact person.

Furthermore, reports may also be submitted to external official reporting bodies. These include, for example:

• the Federal External Reporting Office at the German Federal Office of Justice (Bundesamt für Justiz);
• external reporting offices of the respective German federal states;
• specialised external reporting offices, e.g. at the German Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt).

Please note that the whistleblower system is not intended for complaints. If you are dissatisfied with products or services of the Possehl Group, please contact your respective company representative directly.
