Whistleblowing

Definition

A whistleblower is anyone who has and reports insider knowledge of illegal activities occurring in an organization. Whistleblowers can be employees, suppliers, contractors, clients, or any individual who becomes aware of illegal business activities. Whistleblowers are vital for maintaining an open and transparent society, as they expose misconduct or hidden threats.

 Whistleblower Procedure

Sigma Connectivity delivers with sincerity, integrity, and respect for employees as well as other external parties. Information and guidelines for suppliers and employees (including hired labor) are provided in our Code of Conduct. Zero tolerance for corruption, discrimination, harassment, crime and environmental violation as well as equal treatment of suppliers. It is the responsibility of each manager to ensure that their staff are familiar with the rules and comply with them.

Sigma Connectivity provides all employees (including hired labor) and external stakeholders a dedicated communication channel (Puls+) for reporting and bringing attention to anything that may violate laws, other requirements, or the Code of Conduct. It gives us opportunities to prevent potential misconduct, hidden threats, and correct any misconduct or hidden threats that may already have occurred. Employees (including hired labor) can also report directly to a manager, to an employee organization, to a safety representative, or through this reporting channel without any risk of reprisals.

The reporting channel is anonymous. The service is handled by an external party (Puls+) and the notifications are sent and read by carefully selected persons with statutory confidentiality.

There are also opportunities in the tool to leave your contact information and ask for feedback on what you reported.
