Procurement

SGB-SMIT operates an ombudsman and whistleblowing system through which individuals can report concerns or submit complaints concerning potential human rights or environmental risks and violations, as well as other suspected legal or compliance breaches, in our own operations and supply chain.

All reports are handled confidentially in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the published rules of procedure. SGB-SMIT has appointed attorney Thomas Sedlmayr of SWS Partner mbB in Deggendorf, Germany, as the external contact for the ombudsman and whistleblowing system. The external ombudsperson receives and handles submitted information confidentially, subject to applicable legal requirements and the published rules of procedure.
