Usage hints
We gladly provide free of charge the images included in our media library for use within daily use in the press (including magazines published weekly or monthly). In any case, condition precedent for this is that when using them, you refer to our company as the source in the immediate vicinity of the image material used and in the customary manner (© thyssenkrupp Steel Europe). If a different author is indicated, this must be stated. You are only authorized to process images to the extent that this is technically mandatory for the specific publication (e.g. black/white instead of in color in a monochromatic daily newspaper) and/or to the extent you only change the size proportionally, without using only part of the image, or to stretch, compress or modify it in any other way or to deform it. Every other processing and use is only admissible after prior written approval (email to: [email protected]). We request to be provided with an author’s copy free of charge and promptly after the respective publication of print media, with films with a digital version in a customary playback format on a generally readable data carrier. Where the image material is used online, you shall provide us with the detailed URL of the respective website and make this website accessible to us. closeSerious information helps us to counteract violations at an early stage and to reduce reputational harm to our company, our employees and our business partners. Therefore, we take you and your concerns seriously! All thyssenkrupp employees, as well as customers, suppliers and other third parties, have the opportunity to submit reports.
We safeguard the interests of whistleblowers not only by setting up a secure whistleblower system, but also by promising to treat the reports we receive in confidence, and taking all measures necessary to protect well-intentioned whistleblowers against suffering any disadvantages due to making a report. They can also submit reports completely anonymously, if legally permissible. More information on the procedure for using the whistleblower system at thyssenkrupp can be found in the rules of procedure.
The persons entrusted with managing f the thyssenkrupp Group's whistleblower system offer a guarantee of impartiality; they are independent, not bound by instructions, and are sworn to secrecy.
Please note: The whistleblower system is not an emergency service! Please do not use the reporting channels of the whistleblower system to report an immediate threat of serious or fatal injury, impairment to health or damage to property, because the reporting channels are not designed for this purpose. If necessary, inform the relevant authorities, such as the fire department or police, or the responsible in-house security department.
Violations of the law and misconduct involving a company of the thyssenkrupp Group can be reported – anonymously if desired – via our whistleblower system.
