Compliance at Windmöller & Hölscher: Our commitment to integrity and responsibility

At the Windmöller & Hölscher Group, we see compliance as a fundamental principle of our business activities. We are committed to complying with the legal regulations and guidelines that apply to our global business. Our aim is to strengthen the trust of our customers, partners and employees by acting transparently and responsibly.

Supply Chain Due Diligence Act

As a globally active company, we are aware of our social responsibility. We are committed to upholding and respecting human and environmental rights along our entire supply chain. This is one of the cornerstones of responsible corporate governance.

This approach is not limited to our supply chain, but applies to all our business activities, subsidiaries and value chains. Only with this holistic approach is it possible to identify, prevent and responsibly address risks.

Below you will find our declaration of principles on respecting human rights (Section 6 (2) LkSG) and environmental standards, as well as our code of conduct on the complaints procedure (Section 8 LkSG), both in German and English. We will also make the annual reports to be prepared from 2025 (Section 10 (2) LkSG) publicly available here.

Whistleblowing system

At the Windmöller & Hölscher Group, we see compliance as a fundamental principle of our business activities. We are committed to complying with the legal regulations and guidelines that apply to our global business. Our aim is to strengthen the trust of our customers, partners and employees by acting transparently and responsibly.

In line with our commitment to transparency and integrity, we have introduced a whistleblower system. This electronic reporting platform enables our employees and external partners to report possible violations of the law and breaches of duty as well as any suspicions in this regard in a secure manner. This system underlines our commitment to ethical conduct and ensures that all concerns are taken seriously and investigated accordingly.

The establishment of the whistleblowing system is a further step in our efforts to promote a culture of openness and mutual respect. We encourage everyone associated with our company to make use of this system if they become aware of possible violations. Your involvement will help us to maintain our high standards of compliance and ethical business conduct. To access our reporting platform, please click on the following link:
