Group Legal & Compliance manages the whistleblower hotline and has developed an Investigation Guideline, which is a tool that describes step-by-step how an investigation into a concern raised by an employee is conducted.

Group Legal & Compliance works closely with Global HR and has, in collaboration with them, developed an HR investigation process, which HR uses when conducting HR-related investigations. Employee concerns can also be reported to HR or managers directly and do not have to be reported through the whistleblower hotline.

In 2024, we committed to increasing our business conduct excellence through code of conduct training to reach 100% of highly exposed employees, such as top-level management, senior leaders of commercial functions, procurement and finance managers, by 2030. The target relates to the objectives laid out in our Code of Conduct.
