As an internationally operating parcel service provider GLS Group stands for fair competition, integrity and responsibility.
Whistleblowing / Ombudsman system
We at GLS are committed to clear ethical principles. This is a pillar of our success as a
business. All GLS staff bears responsibility for GLS living up to its principles; quite often,
it is the misconduct of just a few that badly reflects on the reputation of a business as a
whole. Hence, it is crucial for GLS to get notified of potential misconduct of its staff, its
suppliers or third parties as early as possible so that we can quickly act on it and
efficiently remedy the situation.
The internal reporting channel within the meaning of Section 19. of the
Whistleblowers’ Protection Act is Compliance.
