How to report?

Anonymous reporting
Anonymous reports are allowed in a whistleblower scheme to increase trust in the system, but they can also make investigations
and case resolution more challenging.
Who can report?
Any employee, consultant, supplier, or other person associated with the company, as well as customers, clients, or other stakeholders.
Serious violations of the law
I.e. Financial irregularities, corruption, violations of occupational health and safety
laws, breaches of data protection regulations, and violations of competition rules.
A shared security
Confidentiality and protection against adverse consequences are two of the key security measures to safeguard the individuals who report.
