• What is reporting of concerns (whistleblowing)?

  Reporting of concerns (whistleblowing) is to report possible illegal or suspected critical issues. Critical issues are violations of legal rules, violations of internal rules, or violations of ethical norms.

• Reporting of concerns is positive

  Reporting concerns for both the company and community is significant and positive because it may resolve critical issues. People who are willing to report their concerns are an essential resource for UBConnect.

• Right and duty to report concerns

  Individuals are encouraged to notify and report critical issues, as it contributes to the positive development of UBConnect, but usually is not an obligation. Employees are obliged to inform on criminal matters and conditions in which life and health are in danger.

• Follow-up of the reported concerns

  Reporting concerns for both the company and the community is significant. The management must decide how to fix the reported problems. The whistleblower shall have feedback within one week.
