The whistleblower scheme may be used to report any suspected irregularities, violations, or presumed violations of the company’s policies and guidelines or applicable laws.
As a general rule, the following matters are not covered by the scheme:
- Complaints about cooperation difficulties, perceived incompetence, remuneration grievances, and other affairs that might be characterized as everyday or routine matters.
- Reports on the work environment, decision-making processes, or general management decisions.
The areas not covered by the scheme are not to be neglected but addressed in other ways – such as, for example, by contacting your manager directly.
What information should be included?
- When you file a report, it is important that you include and describe all the facts – even the facts you do not immediately consider important.
- You need to document your claim to the best of your ability. If you have written documentation in the form of a document, images, or similar, please upload said material directly – and digitally – into the whistleblower portal.
Track your filed report
- When you file the report, you have the opportunity to do so anonymously or, if you wish, to make your identity known.
- When you submit your report statement, you will be assigned a unique username and password. Whether you choose to remain anonymous or not, we recommend that you keep track of your filed report, as the people who process the report may have questions for you as part of the investigation.
- It is important that you remember or note down your username and password, as neither your username nor password can be resubmitted due to the built-in security and anonymity.
If you lose or forget your login credentials, you will have to create and file a new report with a new username and password.
