In Alba, we believe in upholding the highest standards of ethical and professional behaviour in everything we do. We expect our employees to highlight instances where they suspect that Alba’s Code of Conduct is being breached. This can be done by informing their line manager, business unit manager, or a member of either the Integrity Task Force or Internal Audit.
If you ever feel uncomfortable speaking to one of these resources directly, Alba has also implemented an Integrity Line through which members of Alba staff, contractors and commercial partners can report in confidence any breaches of Alba’s Code of Conduct, such as financial irregularities, frauds and other matters that could potentially prove damaging to the company. It is operated by EthicsPoint, an independent company that helps businesses in responding to concerns about compliance and ethics.
This system is designed to complement existing reporting structures and should not be used for personal grievances.
The Integrity Line is designed to operate on the basis of confidentiality. Alba staff should feel free to raise concerns in good faith without fear of losing their job or suffering any form of retribution as a result. Provided that Alba employees are acting in good faith, it does not matter if, ultimately, the concern is unfounded. This assurance is not extended to someone who maliciously raises a matter they know is untrue. Employees or managers who harass, or seek to retaliate against those that have raised concerns in good faith will be subject to disciplinary action.
Please follow the instructions on this page if you wish to make a report. You can even post your report anonymously. However, we would prefer that you provide your name and contact information, and we assure you that these details will be kept absolutely confidential. You can support your report with documentary evidences and references, which can be attached to your report on this site itself.
Please remember:
This is not an emergency 'hotline' to report any operational emergencies, immediate safety threats or customer service complaints, which are directly handled by concerned Alba personnel.
Alba is making every effort to create a fair and responsive reporting system that takes into consideration the rights of the reporter and of those potentially implicated.
