The Whistleblower and Ethics Reporting Channel
Your opportunity to report indications of certain breaches of the law in a trusting environment.
What's this all about?
This is your safe space to report violations of regulations!
Have you ever felt something wasn't right but were not sure to whom in the company to report it? Or are you a former employee* who didn't have a chance to speak up while still working for us? The Whistleblower and Ethics Reporting Channel will make it easier for you.
We teamed up with PwC to have an independent source look over submitted cases and decide whether further legal steps have to be taken in response to the reported violation. The follow-up measures resulting from the information will be determined by us, following PwC's recommendation.
After clicking the FILE REPORT button, you will be redirected to PwC's page to fill out the form. But before you start, check if your report is regarding any of the topics below.

- Areas of public procurement
