Whistleblowing

Ensuring a reliable reporting channel for both internal and external stakeholders, along with protecting whistleblowers, is critical to maintaining effective compliance.

We offer a reporting channel for both internal and external whistleblowers to report potential compliance violations. Our secure online tool, which you can find here, provides a confidential and secure way for individuals to report violations anonymously if desired.

An individual may report suspected misconducts when a misconduct becomes apparent in our organization. Reporting can also be made where an individual has received knowledge of acts or omissions which are deemed unlawful.

Examples of serious violations that can be reported:

• Bribery and corruption

• Fraud

• Conflicts of interest

• Unfair competitive behavior

• Theft and embezzlement

• Harassment

• Crime against human rights

Our policy ensures that reports made in good faith will not result in sanctions. In addition, the presumption of innocence applies to the person concerned until he is guilty of a violation.
