The aim of Atlantik-Brücke e.V., founded in 1952, is to promote mutual understanding between Germany and other countries, in particular the United States of America, Canada and the European countries. Through its membership of Atlantik-Brücke, IABG actively contributes to the promotion of friendly relations between the nations.

IABG maintains close scientific cooperation with the Technical University of Munich, the UniBw Munich and many other German and foreign universities, thus fostering the exchange between industry and universities. IABG also awards prizes for outstanding student research projects, dissertations and theses.

For over 100 years, the Deutsches Museum has made an outstanding contribution to communicating technology and science to the general public. In order to be able to fulfill this task, a great deal of human and financial resources are required. IABG is a member of the "Friends and Sponsors of the Deutsches Museum" and thus supports the ideational and material promotion of this important technology museum.

At regular intervals, IABG gives interested visitors an insight into its wide range of services. In guided tours, presentations and short lectures, complex interrelationships are clearly explained, even for non-specialist visitors.

German soldiers who had been stationed in the war zones of the former Yugoslavia since 1996 as part of international peace efforts were confronted with the indescribable misery of the people living there. Back home, they decided to act immediately and alleviate the suffering of those who had been hit hardest by the war: women, children and old people. Many of them still lack the simplest things they need to survive. This is how "Lachen Helfen - the private initiative of German soldiers to help children in war and crisis zones" came into being in 1996. The aim of the association, which has been recognized as a non-profit organization since 1998, is to help quickly and unbureaucratically where help is most urgently needed. Soldiers on the ground make it possible to quickly and realistically assess people's needs. They also guarantee the necessary security so that the donated goods reach those in need without detours and remain with them. IABG supports "Lachen Helfen".

The IABG Whistleblower System

There are times when it may not be possible or appropriate to report violations of laws, policies or the IABG Code of Conduct through personal channels.

To address this, IABG offers both employees and external parties a secure communication channel for reporting known or suspected violations or concerns, whether they occur within IABG or across our supply chain. The IABG whistleblower system is managed by an external provider, LegalTegrity GmbH, and is accessible 24/7, 365 days a year. Reports can be submitted online or via telephone in various languages.

To protect your privacy, IABG does not have access to your IP address through the whistleblower system. All reports are treated with the utmost confidentiality and, if preferred, can be submitted anonymously. Every concern is taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. Designed IABG confidential advisors, who are explicitly bound by confidentiality agreements, receive the reports via the IABG reporting office of LegalTegrity and coordinate further action, including, if necessary, the implementation of remedial or preventive measures, and provide feedback to the whistleblower via the LegalTegrity system—always maintaining strict confidentiality.

Whistleblowers are assured that they will not face any reprisals, discrimination, or other negative consequences for their reports. In return, we expect that only well-founded concerns with reasonable suspicion will be reported. We trust that the whistleblowers will use the IABG whistleblower system responsibly, sharing only information that they believe to be accurate to the best of their knowledge and belief. Deliberately false reports may result in legal or disciplinary actions.
