Access to your identity is restricted to persons who are directly responsible for the processing of your report or question. These are the members of the Integrity Panel, the Integrity Officer, the Trusty AG expert and the Head of HR for any HR related reports or questions. Other persons, who are involved in the processing of your report or questions, will be able to access your identity only with your consent, which you can provide during the process of submitting a report or a question.

The application is intended for the employees of our organization and also for the external public. The application is not intended for general questions about the functioning of our organization.

The initial triage of reports and questions is carried out by an expert from Trusty AG. Further processing of reports or questions is performed by the Integrity Officer and the Integrity Panel. If a report or a question relates exclusively to HR matters, such a report or a question will be forwarded to and processed by the Human Resources Department.

In this case, this person is excluded from the process. The Integrity Panel or the management assigns the report to another expert for processing.

In this case, the report is forwarded to and processed by the governing body, i.e. the Board of Trustees.

The processing of a report is performed in the following stages: - receipt, - initial triage, - processing, - investigation.

Retaliation means that because of the (internal or external) reporting, the reporting person or whistleblower may experience (threats of) unjustified, negative consequences in the work-related context. Retaliation may be directed against the reporting person or whistleblower, the legal entity represented by the whistleblower or against the relatives of the whistleblower who are in employment with the organization or its contractual partner.

Whistleblowers reporting in good faith enjoy protection against retaliation. A whistleblower qualifies for protection provided he or she has reasonable grounds to believe that the information reported was true at the time of reporting. Your good faith is presumed unless and until proven otherwise.

You can report retaliation through the application. In your report you should make a reference to your previous report and indicate that you are now threatened with harmful treatment, or that you have already suffered damage.
