You can provide information anonymously if you prefer, and if your local laws so permit. In all instances, every effort will be made to ensure that information relating to a reported violation is kept confidential and communicated on a need-to-know basis only.
Group Internal Audit, which reports to the Board of Directors, works closely with the Global Compliance Officer to ensure that confidentiality and impartiality are maintained in the overall process.
The above procedures can also be followed if you have a question, or are seeking clarification about any aspect of this Code and its supporting policies.
