Information for whistleblowers

We provide all employees of JUVE Verlag and external third parties with protected communication channels for enquiries or information regarding compliance issues. This includes, for example, ambiguities or questions about applicable rules, indications of misconduct in the course of working for our company and dishonest or non-compliant behaviour by or towards companies that have a business relationship with JUVE Verlag.
