Review and monitoring
""To provide additional supervision and facilitate the regular exchange of information on the observance and implementation of this Agreement, a so-called International Committee shall be established.

""
Dispute settlement and sanctions
""In cases of conflict, those affected shall first contact the responsible person on site (in particular supervisor representative of the HR department, responsible employee representative, if appropriate compliance manager). In the event that a matter is not resolved by the responsible local contact persons, information about possible infringements of the provisions of this Framework Agreement can be reported by affected parties via a company internal and strictly confidential communication channel. Individuals who report infringements shall not suffer any disadvantages.
For all complaints and infringements of this Agreement not resolved at local level, a reporting process shall be installed which shall be handled on a strictly confidential basis exclusively by the corporate function Legal, Compliance & Labor Relations. A separate process description of this reporting system is described in Annex 1 to this Agreement.
In response to justified complaints, the responsible directors or management board members, if appropriate with the involvement of the responsible person at regional headquarters, shall take the necessary steps to remedy the situation. In doing so, they and the employees and employee representatives shall exhaust all possibilities for conflict resolution on site.
In the event of complaints or information that cannot be resolved through local mediation, TK Elevator GmbH shall investigate the information with the involvement of the central management and the International Committee. ""
