The independent Whistleblowing Office can be contacted in the event of suspicion of illegal actions or unfair conduct.
Employees of HSG and its institutes and research centres, students and external partners can use the Whistleblowing Office if they wish to report suspected or actual violations.
Information can be provided by e-mail, letter or in a personal conversation. An electronic reporting system is therefore also available. This provides you with the possibility of anonymous, protected dialogue via a server outside of HSG.
