Respect for human rights and environmental obligations, as well as compliance with applicable legal requirements, are fundamental principles for WPP Deutschland Holding GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter: WPP Deutschland) and its affiliated companies. In our business activities, we strive to identify, address and prevent negative impacts on people and the environment, and we constantly seek opportunities to promote human rights.
Our approach is based primarily on the requirements of internationally recognised standards and frameworks, as well as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG).
The WPP Deutschland Complaints Procedure
Our "Right to Speak" helpline is intended to enable people to point out potential risks to or violations of human rights, environmental obligations or other applicable laws that have arisen from the actions of WPP Deutschland, our subsidiaries or our business partners in the supply chain. The procedure thus constitutes a central component of our process for fulfilling our human rights and environmental due diligence obligations.
Detailed information on the procedure, the rights of complainants and other relevant information can be found in the procedural rules for the grievance procedure.
The procedure is available to anyone who is directly affected by a risk or violation or who has witnessed a relevant incident. Representatives of affected persons can also make use of the procedure.
The procedure is operated by NAVEX Global EthicsPoint, an independent third-party provider. Reports can be submitted here.
