To make iteasier for those who wish to provide information about misconduct in breach ofapplicable law, we have set up a whistleblowing solution from an external provider, SpeakUp.
Our whistleblowing service is designed to report suspicions of serious misconductand irregularities, such as:
- Illegal activities: breaches of laws and regulations.
- Financial crime: For example, fraud, corruption, embezzlement or unauthorised influence on financial reporting.
- Serious ethical offences: Conflicts of interest, bias or other actions that violate our Code of Ethics.
-Conditions seriously affecting health, safety or the environment: If there is arisk of serious harm to an individual, organisation or the environment.
How does itwork?
In order to ensure the highest level of objectivity and safety for the reporter, our whistleblowing service is managed by an external and independent party. This ensures that your report is investigated professionally and confidentially. You will remain anonymous throughout the process, unless you choose to reveal your identity.
Important to know
The Whistleblowing Service is designed to deal with serious matters concerning the whole organisation and its staff. For general comments, questions about the organisation, or issues that do not qualify as serious misconduct, pleasecontact your line manager in the first instance or use our normal contact channels.
