To Make a Report

Germany

Reports via the Aon Ethics Helpline concern all matters or incidents that may involve unethical behaviour, misconduct, violations of the law and in particular violations of the National Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG):

  • Offences that are punishable by law
  • Offences that are subject to a fine, insofar as the violated regulation serves the protection of of life, limb or health or the protection of the rights of employees or their representative bodies
  • Other violations of federal and state legislation and directly applicable legal acts of the EU.

Other matters that could not be assigned or questions/doubts can be reported to the Aon Legal & Compliance Department or the line manager.

Cooperation

Aon takes good faith allegations of improper conduct by Aon and/or its employees very seriously and employees must cooperate fully with any internal investigations of such allegations.

Any employee who interferes with, or provides false information in the course of an internal investigation, may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Protection Against Retaliation

Aon strictly prohibits retaliating against anyone who makes a good faith report.

However, if a report is made in "bad faith," for instance, if a false or misleading report is made in a deliberate effort to get someone in trouble (as opposed to an honest mistake), the person making the report may be subject to disciplinary consequences.

Aon Ethics Helpline

The Ethics Helpline is a way to report in good faith possible violations of Aon's Code of Business Conduct, Aon policies and procedures, or laws and regulations.

Those who contact the Ethics Helpline can remain anonymous if they choose, where permitted by local law. The Ethics Helpline does not utilize Caller ID and does not track IP addresses used for on-line forms. Reporters who choose to provide their names will have their identities protected to the extent possible and allowed by law.

The Ethics Helpline is operated by an independent, third-party provider (NAVEX), which helps ensure the confidentiality and anonymity of calls.

When you file a report, you will be issued a report key and asked to create a password. Make sure to write down your report key and password. With your report key and password, you can return to the Ethics Helpline via phone or this website at any time, and check for updates to and/or questions about your report from the Helpline.

If you file an anonymous report, please revisit periodically. You should do this in order to answer any questions or comments that may have been posted to your report.

Your Duty to Speak Up

Aon employees aware of any potential violations of the Code of Business Conduct, our policies and procedures, or laws and regulations, must report them in a manner compliant with local law. You may contact your manager, Human Resources representative, the Compliance/Law Department, the Ethics Helpline, or any of the other resources listed in the Aon Code of Business Conduct.

Reports regarding potential accounting, internal control and/or auditing violations may also be sent directly to the Senior Vice President & Chief Audit Executive who will provide a report to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, as appropriate.
