Rules of procedure for the complaints procedure and policy statement on human rights strategy pursuant to the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains (LkSG)

Protecting and respecting every possibility individual is a top priority for SICK AG and an indispensable part of our entrepreneurial responsibility. Therefore, compliance with the due diligence obligations arising out of the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains (“LkSG”) is a matter of course for us. However, despite our compliance management system, we cannot fully rule out the occurrence of individual cases of misconduct.

SICK AG has implemented a complaints procedure in accordance with section 8 of the LkSG. This procedure allows individuals to report human rights-related and environment-related risks and the violations of human rights and environmental obligations that arise out of the economic activity of SICK AG in our own business operations (including at our Group companies) or in the business operations of a direct or indirect supplier.

The complaints procedure is open to all persons potentially involved in it within and outside of our business operations, for example, to employees of SICK AG and its Group companies or to employees of direct and indirect suppliers of SICK AG and its Group companies. Reports can be submitted not only by the parties that are directly involved but also by third parties, for example, acting on behalf of the parties directly involved. No costs are incurred by the complainant or whistleblower for the submission and processing of complaints and other reports.
