BEOS AG whistleblower system

Our whistleblowing system

supports the applicable laws and regulations, internal guidelines and the Code of Conduct of the Swiss Life Group. The Code of Conduct sets out the values, principles, rules and guidelines for the business activities of the Swiss Life Group and thus of BEOS AG.

In order to comply with the Code of Conduct in our day-to-day work, it is important that we find out about any compliance misconduct on the part of our own employees or business partners and to prevent it.

That is why we have an independent and confidential whistleblower system. To this end, BEOS AG has appointed an ombudsperson to receive compliance violations.

What is an ombudsperson?

An external ombudsperson is an independent, external point of contact that receives information regarding violations. Whistleblowers only interact with the ombudsperson, who handles the whistleblower’s personal data in the strictest confidence. Nobody apart from the ombudsperson has any direct contact with whistleblowers. It is therefore also possible to provide information anonymously.

What reporting channels are there at BEOS AG?

If you suspect a violation, you can contact the ombudsman, Thomas Muth. He is subject to the legally recognised duty of confidentiality and may not disclose any information to third parties without your consent.

BEOS AG guarantees its employees and business partners that reporting to the ombudsperson will not lead to any disadvantages for them (either personal or financial). Whistleblowers may submit reports by telephone with or without their name (anonymously). Alternatively, they can send reports stating their name and real e-mail address or, if applicable, a freely chosen one.

What kind of misconduct can be reported?

Whistleblowers usually report violations of a specific law, such as…

• Corruption, bribery and fraud
• Violations of laws and criminal offences
• Malpractice and mismanagement
• Violations of human, labour or consumer rights
• Discrimination and harassment at work
• Conflicts of interest or insider trading
• Infringements of competition or antitrust law
• Aggressive tax planning
• Environmental damage
• Material or immaterial theft
• Infringements of the GDPR or misuse of data
• Money laundering and the financing of terrorism
• Inadequate protection of business secrets
