URW encourages employees and third parties to raise genuine concerns, even if they turn out to be mistaken. URW has established communication channels that allow employees to report issues and seek remedy. URW ensures open access to report accidents, near-misses, and potential instances of non-compliance and related procedures for investigation and appropriate corrective actions to the local H&S correspondent, the relevant manager or the local People teams.

Internal procedures are in place to anticipate, identify and prevent any infringement on employees' human rights and freedoms. These include, for instance, clear rules against any form of discrimination along with anti-harassment and anti-bullying practices including a whistleblowing hotline accessible 24/7 to all employees.

All employees and contractors are invited to report cases or suspicions of criminal activity, violations of national and international laws, any serious threat or harm to the general interest of URW, or breaches of the Group Code of Ethics or other internal policies, by using the Group's whistleblowing platform, the Integrity Line. The platform is hosted by an external provider and is available 24/7 from any location worldwide in all spoken languages within the Group (https://urw.integrityline.org/). The whistleblowing platform allows anonymous reporting and ensures strict confidentiality of the identity of the reporter. The Group policy is to guarantee to not discipline, discriminate or retaliate against any employee or other person who in good faith reports information related to a violation. The Group Whistleblowing Policy has been developed to comply with articles 6, 8 and 17 of the French Law No. 2016-1691 of December 9, 2016, called “Sapin II” as well applicable data protection regulation in the relevant jurisdiction.
