Compliance – Reporting Path System
The Reporting Path System of SEEBURGER gives you the opportunity to inform us about violations of legal regulations and / or compliance rules and thus to contribute to their disclosure. Please note that our reference system is not intended for complaints.
Compliance with legal and internal compliance rules
Compliance with legal requirements and internal compliance rules is a top priority for SEEBURGER. Violations must be recognized at an early stage in order to initiate appropriate countermeasures and to prevent possible damage for customers, employees, business partners and the company.
Severe violations in the company
SEEBURGER has set up several reporting paths in order to be able to find out about serious breaches in the company in a timely manner and to provide appropriate information. Both employees of SEEBURGER and external persons can provide information on potential bribery, fraud, antitrust violations, violations of the law on money laundering or the violation of accounting rules.
Possible reporting paths
SEEBURGER has set up several reporting channels in order to find out about potentially serious violations within the company in good time and to be able to follow up on information appropriately. Both SEEBURGER employees and external parties can use these channels to report issues such as potential bribery offenses, fraud, violations of antitrust law, violations of the Money Laundering Act or violations of accounting regulations.
If you have concrete, well-founded indications of serious legal violations or breaches of the rules at SEEBURGER, or if you suspect such violations, you have the following avenues to contact us:
1. Global Chief Compliance Officer
Dr. Zsófia Körmendy

It is also possible to provide information anonymously. If doing so, please provide as many details of the issue as possible and, if available, documents that support your suspicions. After all, it is only possible to effectively act upon this information if we have evidence to support the suspicions and concrete avenues to investigate.
SEEBURGER investigates all reports, treating all whistleblower cases with the highest level of confidentiality and fairness. This also applies to any employees affected by an allegation.
There are also third party channels to report potential violations, including breaches against EU law or the way this is implemented on a domestic level in accordance with EU Directive 2019/1937 on the protection of whistleblowers (Problems and complaints - European Commission (europa.eu)).
