Mobis Automotive Czech s.r.o. and Mobis Automotive System Czech s.r.o. (hereinafter "Mobis") have established an internal reporting system (separate for each company) in accordance with Act No. 171/2023 Coll., on the Protection of Whistleblowers (hereinafter "WPA"), which allows for the submission of reports regarding possible unlawful conduct within the meaning of Section 2 of the WPA.

Where to submit a report?

For the purpose of receiving reports, each of the companies has designated 2 competent persons to receive reports submitted through the internal reporting system, assess them, and propose corrective measures to Mobis in accordance with the WPA. Internal reports can be submitted via the contacts listed below or through the web form:



You may also address the report directly to the Ministry of Justice, which receives reports in writing, by telephone, and by prior agreement in person, but no later than 14 days from the date of the whistleblower's request.

What kind of conduct can you report?

You can report unlawful conduct that you became aware of in connection with work or other similar activity under Section 2(3) of the WPA performed for Mobis. Unlawful conduct is conduct that:


• has the characteristics of a criminal offense

• has the characteristics of a misdemeanor for which the law sets a fine of at least CZK 100,000

• violates the Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers

• violates another legal regulation or a regulation of the European Union in areas defined in more detail in Section 2(1)(d) of the WPA.


The whistleblower should, with regard to the circumstances and information available at the time of the report, have reasonable grounds to suspect that the reported facts are true. Knowingly false facts cannot therefore be reported. Such conduct may be sanctioned.

Why submit a report?

By submitting a report, you can help Mobis identify serious problems that could lead to a violation of the law and, if possible, prevent such violations or at least mitigate their negative impacts.

Who can submit a report?

Only natural persons who have performed or are performing work or other similar activity for Mobis - these can be our employees, interns, job applicants, or business partners. Mobis therefore does not exclude the acceptance of reports also from persons who are not listed in Section 2(3)(a), (b), (h), or (i) of the WPA.

What information must the report contain?

The report must contain the name, surname, and date of birth of the whistleblower, or other information from which the identity can be inferred (for our employees, e.g., their ID number assigned by the employer). The report must contain specific information and data about the reported violation - i.e., when the violation was supposed to occur/occurred, details of what the violation consists of, information about the persons involved in the violation, and any other details or even documents available to the whistleblower that may help clarify the violation. The scope and quality of the information provided and documented can positively influence the investigation of the report. For a proper investigation of the report, it is also advisable to provide contact details (e.g., e-mail, telephone, address) so that the competent persons can inform the whistleblower about the status of the report or, if necessary, request further details. The inability to contact the whistleblower may negatively affect the investigation of the report.

Does the whistleblower have any protection?

The whistleblower, as well as other persons defined in Section 4(2)(a)-(h) of the WPA, is protected from retaliation, i.e., from measures resulting from the report. Protection from retaliation cannot be claimed by a person who knowingly submitted a false report!

Is it possible to submit an anonymous report?

Yes, it is possible, BUT anonymous reports do not fall under the WPA regime. Mobis will therefore not handle the report within the same time limits set by the WPA, does not guarantee that an anonymous report can be properly investigated, and is unable to provide protection from retaliation (as it is not possible to determine who needs to be protected) - in the event that the identity of the whistleblower is subsequently revealed, we will handle the report under the WPA regime from that moment on.

Where to find more information?

All information about the rights and obligations of the obliged entity (Mobis), the whistleblower, other protected persons, or competent persons who will deal with the report can be found in Act No. 171/2023 Coll., on the Protection of Whistleblowers, or you can check the website of the Ministry of Justice
