SpeakUp®
Compliance Reporting System
In order to support our commitment to compliance with applicable laws and international ethical standards, we provide employees and others working for us the possibility to use our Whistleblowing Channels, including ”SpeakUp”, to report serious misconduct.
What can be reported?
Reports via the Whistleblowing Channels may only refer to misconduct in a work-related context and must meet the following criteria depending on country in which the Whistleblowing Channels are set up:
| County(ies) | Criteria for what can be reported in the Whistleblowing Channels |
|---|---|
| Sweden, Iceland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia | There must either be a public interest in the emergence of the misconduct or the misconduct must be in breach of Union law, i.e. EU acts or laws implementing such legislation. |
| Norway | Misconduct must refer to censurable conditions or irregularities, i.e. breaches of rules of law, written ethical guidelines of the Group or ethical standards with widespread endorsement in the community. |
| Denmark | Misconduct must refer to violations of EU law or otherwise regard serious offences or other serious matters. |
Note that you do not have to have proof of your suspicions in order to report, but all reports must be made in good faith and you must have reasonable grounds to assume that the information about the misconduct is true, and that the reported misconduct falls under the scope of application of the Whistleblowing Acts.
Who can report?
All who work with us can use the Whistleblowing Channels. This includes for example:
- employees,
- job seekers,
- volunteers, and
- interns.
Also included are anyone who previously belonged to one of the above categories and learnt of the misconduct in that role.
