As one of the world's leading logistics providers, the key for our success is related to integrity towards our colleagues, clients, business partners, shareholders and the general public. Therefore, all our business activities must be based on the highest ethical and legal standards, and we pursue a zero-tolerance approach that does not tolerate any unlawful behavior or any violations of applicable laws or breaches of our Code of Conduct by management, employees, suppliers or any other business partners.
Aligned with this commitment to integrity, Kuehne+Nagel has engaged an independent company that operates secure and confidential telephone and web-based reporting systems for use by those who wish to report a concern regarding any doubtful business conduct or unlawful activities.
However, before submitting a report, first consider if you are comfortable raising your concern directly within Kuehne+Nagel, such as to your manager, Human Resources Department, your compliance officer, or to someone else you trust. If you are uncomfortable doing so, if you do not know whom to contact, or you believe your concern has not been satisfactorily addressed, please proceed with the filing of a report through our Confidential Reporting Line.
In case you have decided to use Kuehne+Nagel's Confidential Reporting Line, you need to be aware that the information you supply about yourself as well as about employees, suppliers, customers or other business parties, or any other aspect in relation to Kuehne+Nagel may result in decisions that affect our employees or other parties involved in a relevant incident. We therefore ask you to provide only information that – to the best of your knowledge – is accurate, true, and based on facts. The information you submit will be treated confidentially and we encourage you to identify yourself.
Complaints made which are – to the best of your knowledge – truthful and accurate, will not expose you to any sanctions. However, knowingly providing false or misleading information may lead to sanctions against you.
To submit a report using Kuehne+Nagel's Confidential Reporting Line, you may use any of the following options:
