Internal business assurance audits
Our legal compliance team conducts several compliance related audits each year alongside our existing rigorous external and internal business assurance audits. The objective is to monitor our compliance with various policies and procedures. We assess the related compliance risks and mitigate any identified.
Whistleblowing procedure
Employees with concerns about illegal, fraudulent, or unethical actions can report them to any manager or our legal compliance, HR or business assurance teams. Alternatively, they can use our confidential reporting hotline EthicsPoint, available 24/7. Where local laws allow, the service can be used anonymously. It is operated by an independent third party using local call numbers and online access is also available for reporting by third-party stakeholders.
