Provide security. Experience trust.

JCL (hereinafter “we” or “us”) provides you the opportunity to report indications of legal violations in a trusted environment through the Whistleblower Channel.

The Whistleblower Channel is operated by oehner & partner rechtsanwaelte gmbh ("PwC"). PwC is responsible for processing and reviewing the reports submitted in accordance with legal requirements.

The reports submitted by you as well as your personal data will be treated confidentially by PwC. Your personal data will only be disclosed, unless required by law, if you request this in the individual case. 

We, on the other hand, do not have access to the personal data of your report. We therefore encourage you to provide us with your name and other personal data. This helps to ensure that your information is processed properly and enables us to protect your privacy. The confidentiality and security of your data has the highest priority for us. 

This web form is hosted in the EU. All data is processed on secure servers within the EU. 

We take all indications of reported legal violations seriously! We do not tolerate any violations of the law. All incoming reports are checked by PwC. The consequential actions resulting from the reports are determined by us according to the recommendations of PwC. 

Legal information:

• Your reports may lead to investigations. This applies to both internal and regulatory investigations. Your information may also have serious consequences for other persons and for us. For this reason, only share information that is true to the best of your knowledge. If you knowingly provide false or misleading information, you will not be protected and you will face consequences.
• The Whistleblower Channel is not designed to be an emergency hotline. Therefore, please do not use this channel to report an immediate threat or acute risk. In the event of an immediate threat or acute risk, notify the appropriate department. If necessary, also inform the relevant authorities.
• In addition to reporting through our Whistleblower Channel, you also have the option of submitting any reports to the regulatory reporting channel (external reporting channel). Please note that such reports may result in regulatory investigations that are beyond our control or the control of PwC. We therefore encourage you to use our reporting channel so that we have the opportunity to respond appropriately to any legal violations. 
• Please note that legal protection can only be provided in limited circumstances in case of public disclosure of reports, for example on the internet or in the press. The protection against retaliation measures is primarily given if you have previously informed an internal or external reporting channel and have not received a timely response about them taking appropriate follow-up action to your report or another exceptional case is given. Please note: Disclosure of information can lead to considerable damage for us! We therefore encourage you to use our reporting channel or otherwise contact us prior to disclosure.

Please note that the Whistleblower Channel is only set up for certain reporting topics. These topics result from the following web form.
