Procurement

Warning of invoice and procurement fraud

Invoice and procurement fraud attempts are currently taking place. In these cases, fraudsters pose as HOCHTIEF employees and attempt to place orders with suppliers in their name or obtain quotation data. For this purpose, e-mail addresses similar to HOCHTIEF e-mail addresses are used. If you receive a corresponding order, delete it.

Our procurement process is designed to prevent these activities. Therefore, no goods or services should be provided without a valid purchase order (PO). This protects against fraudulent activities. Orders are only sent from the following domains:
@hochtief.de
@hochtief.ch
@hochtief.com
@hochtief.eu

All domains use the security features such as SPF or DKIM. Use these as one technical measure alongside other plausibility checks to verify the authenticity of incoming mails.

We recommend that you forward suspicious emails to the Federal Office for Information Security (phishing@bsi.bund.de).

Purchasing for the projects is coordinated by a central unit within our European business. Besides Governance and Compliance tasks, this central unit also is in charge of negotiating and making available the materials and services required by all units.

HOCHTIEF Infrastructure adheres to the same guiding principles as HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft.
