Informants (or so-called whistleblowers) contribute to the detection and sanction of maladministration (legal and rule violations) in companies and authorities. The aim of the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) is to protect informants from discrimination or reprisals, to give them legal certainty, and to protect their identity. Frequent questions 1. What can be reported? The violations that may be reported are those punishable by criminal penalties or fines, in connection with Prognos AG’s activities or those conducted for Prognos AG. In addition to the offences of insult, fraud, or tax evasion, this includes violations of labour laws as well as violations of various other legal provisions (e.g., environmental protection, data protection or money laundering). 2. What cannot be reported? The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) does not protect the reporting and disclosure of violations that are not punishable by damages or fines or the reporting of private misconduct if this does not relate to professional activity, even if the reporting person learns about this within the professional context. 3. Who is authorised to report? Employees of Prognos AG in Germany and abroad may report information they may have obtained about violations in connection with their professional activity or in the run-up to a professional activity. External whistleblowers can also report the violations of Prognos employees to Prognos AG. 4.
