ecoplus. The Business Agency of Lower Austria sets high standards for the integrity of its employees, the legal conformity of its actions and the implementation of compliance measures.

An important basis for greater transparency was created by the Lower Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act (NÖ HGSG).

An internal communication system has been implemented for reporting abuses, which makes it possible to submit information (including in anonymous form) to specially trained, impartial specialists within the organization who are bound to confidentiality. The system allows a report to be submitted in writing or verbally (telephone / personal conversation).

Abuses can be reported by all employees, as well as all persons who have obtained information about violations in connection with their professional activities.

We will confirm receipt of your report within seven days at the latest and will inform you of the steps taken within three months.

In exceptional cases, the Lower Austrian Equal Treatment Officer, who is not subject to instructions, is available as an external body.

The justified reporting of legal violations under the Lower Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act protects whistleblowers from sanctions.
