Simple, responsible, reliable

Why should I submit a report?

We expect our employees and business partners to act responsibly and reliably. Legal provisions, binding regulations, guidelines and contracts must be complied with. For example, if you learn of corrupt behaviour, violations of social standards, unethical conduct, anticompetitive agreements or other infractions, make use of the opportunity to submit a report via this whistleblowing system and share your information with us.

What kinds of report are useful to ALDI Nord group?

In order to investigate allegations, we require specific information concerning concrete circumstances. This must be verifiable in the investigation of the report and well-founded and should not represent general accusations.

What is the process for submitting a report? How do I set up a postbox?

To submit an anonymous or personalized report start by clicking the “Submit Report“ button located on the top left side of our information page.

The reporting process consists of four steps:

1. First, you will be asked to read an information text about protecting your anonymity and then respond to a security query.
2. Second, you will be asked to describe the category of your report on the following page.
3. On the report page, you can elaborate on your report in your own words and answer questions about the incident by simply selecting responses. You can type up to 5,000 characters into the free text field, which corresponds to a full A4 page. You may also submit a file of up to 5 MB to support your report. Please do bear in mind that documents can contain information about the author. Following the sending of your report, you will receive a reference number as confirmation that you have forwarded this report.
4. Finally, you will be asked to set up your own anonymous secured postbox. This secured postbox will be used to communicate with you, answer your questions and keep you posted on the status of your report.

If you already have set-up a secured postbox, click the “Login” button to access it directly. First, you will have to answer a security query.

The technology behind the BKMS^® System will maintain your anonymity as long as you do not submit any information that contains your personal identity.

How do I receive feedback and remain anonymous at the same time?

The overriding principle of the BKMS^® procedure in use is the protection of the whistleblower. The system's anonymity protection function is certified by an independent body.

When setting up your secured postbox, please select your own pseudonym/user name and password. Your report is kept anonymous through encryption and other specialised security measures. You will never be asked for personal information at any time during the reporting process. Do not submit any information that can be traced back to you. Please do not use a computer provided by your employer to submit your report.

Via the secured postbox, an examiner will give you feedback about the further processing of your information, or ask you questions if some details are still unclear - you remain anonymous throughout the dialogue.
