Whistleblowing Channel

"We encourage everyone to report violations if they occur at HUGO BOSS or one of its partners. HUGO BOSS takes rigorous action against all violations."


Do you have complaints, questions about your rights, or would you like to report misconduct? Then turn to the independent and free whistleblowing channel of HUGO BOSS. Misconduct may include discrimination, harassment, corruption, theft, fraud or other violations of our social standards, or violations of the law. 

HUGO BOSS provides two different whistleblowing channels to overcome barriers to access. Your complaint or question will be treated equally regardless of the channel you choose.
