The plat- form offers all employees worldwide, including temporary staff, apprentices and trainees, an additional reporting channel to easily raise alleged violations or breaches of the Code of responsible business conduct by phone or in writing. Trustline can be accessed around the clock. It is available in several languages, and reports can be submitted anonymously. With Trustline, the company has developed guide- lines for employees to encourage them to voice their concerns about suspected misconduct within HUBER+SUHNER or in connection with HUBER+SUHNER business relationships with respect to the principles set out in the Code of responsible business conduct. High compliance achieved in 2021 In 2021, a total of 7 issues were reported related to the Code of responsible business conduct via the whistle-blowing platform or any other reporting channel or sources (immediate or next line manager, human resources manager, lo- cal compliance officer, or local external service provider). Six cases were settled in the reporting year, one is still being addressed. HUBER+SUHNER Sustainability Report 2021Seite 8Seite 10
