Compliance

Whistleblowing:

To ensure our compliance and to fulfill the obligations under the Whistleblower Protection Act to set up an internal reporting office, we, have assigned the tasks of the internal reporting office to DB Cargo Compliance.

Here you can report a concrete suspicion of a serious violation of laws and DB rules.

Internal reporting channels

DB Cargo AG's internal whistleblowing system offers various channels for reporting possible violations:

• Electronic whistleblowing system of the DB Group: BKMS
• DB Cargo Compliance - Compliance Officer Dr. Bettina Wunsch-Semmler
• E-Mail: compliance-dbcargo@deutschebahn.com
• Tel.: +49 69 265-34013
• DB Cargo AG, Compliance Officer (L.CVM 2), Rheinstraße 2, 55116 Mainz, Germany

To be able to process offences as quickly and comprehensively as possible, it is important that your report contains as much specific information as possible. It is helpful if you consider the 5 W’s: Who? What? When? How? Where?
