Code of Business Standards

Supplier Code of Conduct
GLS expects its suppliers to respect the standards laid out in this Supplier Code of Conduct, implement them using appropriate measures and adhere to them in their business activities.
Ombudsman (Whistleblowers)
GLS Group has implemented an Alert Whistleblower / Ombudsman system to enable its employees, business partners and third parties to contact, in confidence, official bodies in case they are, for whatever reason, concerned about committing criminal offenses or serious offenses.
All such notices or complaints will be treated as confidential material and Dr. Buchert is bound by the confidentiality of the information by his statutory obligation under which he is not permitted to disclose the identity of the persons who addressed him without their express consent. He is also entitled to refuse to give evidence or to present evidence (including the identity of the persons who addressed him) if requested to do so by the Court. Complaints submitted to the Ombudsman will be forwarded to the GLS Group only if the complainant's consent has been obtained.
If you would like to make a report using our whistleblower line directly to your supervisor or you can contact the GLS Ombudsman directly.
