On October 7, 2019, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted the European Whistleblower Protection Directive (Directive) which aims to protect whistleblowers who report corruption, fraud, or violations of the law in the countries of the European Union (EU). These measures require covered employers to provide protected channels for reporting and prohibit any retaliation against those who report irregularities.
It’s an important way for detecting corruption, illegal or unethical behavior or other wrong conduct to avoid serious impact to the company's business or incur its liability, in an effort to give the company an opportunity to prevent them in time and correct them. The system also contributes to the protection of the Society at large.

Whenever a Whistleblower knows or reasonably suspects that one of the breaches covered by the whistleblowing system has occurred or is about to occur, then that person or body may use the whistleblowing system.
In terms of the goal of defending the interests of the Group and its employees, the system is not intended to resolve problems associated with the performance of an employee's personal employment contract.
Reports will be made on factual basis, without any defamatory or prejudicial content.
The system applies to employees at all levels, corporate body, executive manager self-employed, paid and unpaid trainees, volunteers, but also former employees or prospective employees, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, non-executive directors and shareholders, hereafter called the “Whistleblowers.
The identity of the Whistleblower, as well as any third party mentioned, must be treated with a high level of confidentially.
In addition, the identity of both the Whistleblower, as well as any third party mentioned, are protected. It also applies to relatives, dependents, or spouses of any of these people.
The reporting persons are protected from dismissal, degradation and other discrimination as well as retaliation actions (by example: Suspension, termination of contract, dismissal or equivalent measures …).
