Whistleblower system

Abena wants to be a good place to work and if individuals act unethically, regardless if such behaviour relates to financial issues or is directed at other employees, we take every violation extremely seriously. Help us fight corruption and business crime. Every violation reported is important and helps us prevent economic loss and damage to our reputation. Also, help us fight bullying, sexual or other harassment and violence  and violation of work safety rules on the job by reporting such behaviour as well, which is in violation of our global ethical code of conduct.

With your help, we can ensure our integrity and reliability, and thereby also our success, as well as making sure that Abena continues to be an attractive company to work in.

The whistleblower system may not be used to make false accusations against others and altogether, reporting of deliberately untrue information.

 

All reports are treated strictly confidential and anonymously if you so desire. We encourage you to provide your name in the report.

 

Regardless of whether you choose to remain anonymous or not, please open a secure post box or mailbox account, for examples a Google or Hotmail mail or other private mail. It is important that the e-mail is not Abena mail, and that you have unlimited access to that particular e-mail account. This makes it safer and easier for us to communicate.

 

All reports are strictly confidential. You can find more information on this in the menu section ”Privacy Policy” above.

What can be reported?
Anonymity
Open a post box

In the Whistleblower system you can report serious issues such as:

  • Bribery

  • Fraud

  • Swindle

  • Theft

  • Accounting manipulation, etc. 

Now you can also report issues of a more personal nature through the Whistleblower Hotline, like

  • Bullying

  • Sexual or another type of harassment

  • Physical assault or violent conduct

  • Violation of work safety rules, etc. 

Other issues, which can give rise to discontent, but is of no relevance to you personally or others, should not be reported through the Whistleblower system. For instance, issues like dissatisfaction with wages/salary, violation of non-smoking rules, ignoring hygiene rules, etc. are instead to be reported through the normal channels like your immediate manager or by contacting HR
To ensure your anonymity, you must do the following:
  • If possible, do not report from a PC provided by your employer.
  • Do not use a PC that is connected to the company’s network/intranet.
  • Access the whistleblower system directly by copying or writing the URL address in an internet browser rather than by clicking on a link.
  • Do not write your own personal details.
When you send the report, you have the option to choose whether you remain available for further inquiries by opening a secure post box.

We recommend that you make yourself available because we may not be able to finalise the case without further information from you.

When you create a post box, you will be given a case number, and you will choose a password. You will use the case number and password to log in to the post box in order to see if you have received any questions.

Regardless of whether or not you remain anonymous or you write your name, we ask you to open a post box. This makes it safer and easier for us to communicate.

All communication with us is anonymous if you wish it to be.
