Whistleblower system
TAG operates a whistleblowing system with various reporting channels. It offers employees, business partners and other stakeholders the opportunity to submit reports and complaints to TAG regarding actual or suspected breaches of relevant legal provisions or compliance requirements.
Complaints regarding human rights or environmental risks, as well as possible breaches of due diligence obligations under the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), may also be reported. The Executive Board of TAG Immobilien AG has appointed the Compliance Officer as the Human Rights Officer.
TAG’s Rules of Procedure set out the reporting channels, the procedure to be followed, as well as responsibilities and the safeguarding of confidentiality.
The following options are available for submitting relevant reports and complaints:
Digital reporting system: https://tag.integrityline.app

Whistleblowers may also submit their reports anonymously, if they so wish. TAG employees may also use a contact form on the intranet to submit anonymous reports.
In addition, whistleblowers have the option of contacting TAG’s compliance lawyer, Dr Alexander Raif of GreenGate Partners Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH:

Enquiries or suggestions regarding tenancies, such as utility bills, cannot be dealt with via the whistleblowing system. These matters are handled by TAG’s tenant services: https://tag-wohnen.de/mieterservice.
Under the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), in addition to internal reporting channels, there is an equivalent option to contact external reporting bodies. Whistleblowers can find information on the options for making an external report at https://www.bundesjustizamt.de/DE/MeldestelledesBundes/MeldestelledesBundes_node.html. Other external reporting bodies include the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (‘BaFin’) https://www.bafin.de/DE/DieBaFin/Hinweisgeberstelle/hinweisgeberstelle_node.html and the Federal Cartel Office https://www.bundeskartellamt.de/EN/Tasks/Cartels/Verteilerseite_Tip-offs/Tip-offs_node.html.
However, it is recommended that whistleblowers contact TAG’s internal reporting channels as a matter of priority, as this enables reports to be handled directly, efficiently and appropriately. If whistleblowers have any questions regarding the reporting channels or the procedure, they may contact the Compliance Officer using the contact details provided above.
