At WCM, we prioritise our efforts to ensure responsible and transparent corporate governance, and are convinced it provides the foundation for establishing long-term value within our company. Sound corporate governance works to strengthen the confidence of our investors, employees and business partners. In our work, we follow the provisions of the German Corporate Governance Code. As a listed company, we issue a declaration of compliance on an annual basis. The declaration of compliance is only available in German.

You can use the whistle-blower system of WCM to make us aware of serious infringements of the law and/or breaches of compliance regulations. This includes corruption, infringements of competition and antitrust law and breaches of insider trading or accounting regulations.

WCM has appointed the lawyer and counsel of trust Mr Gies to serve as an external neutral intermediary. As he is bound by discretion in connection with the company, whistle-blowers who do not want to be identified, be they employees, tenants or business partners, can rest assured that they will remain absolutely anonymous.

If you see signs of serious infringements of the law or observe breaches of rules in connection with WCM, contact the counsel of trust below:
