Whistleblowing System

Enabling whistleblowing and protecting reporting persons from retaliation is central to ensuring compliance as it allows us to detect and respond to any (potential) breaches.

To this end, we have made reporting channels available to all employees and external parties which guarantee the possibility to report (potential) breaches without fearing retaliation, reflecting the section on “Whistleblowing Management” as found in our Code of Conduct.  Our commitment is that all reports shall be adequately investigated, treated with the utmost confidentiality, and handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Should you wish to report (potential) breaches of the law, human rights or environmental risks or infractions in our supply chain, our Code of Conduct, and our policies, the following reporting channels are at your disposal:

Whistleblowing Channel

The channel compliance@auto1.com, which is administered by our compliance team, is a safe and confidential way to report any (potential) breach.
