Whistleblowing channel
– all reports are handled confidentially
Cervi and its subsidiaries have a confidential, anonymous reporting channel for possible activity contrary to the public interest (EU Directive 2019/1937). With it, we want to ensure that a person who observes or suspects activity contrary to the public interest in connection with their work can report it safely.
Only persons authorised by us receive and handle reports. Your identity and the information you submit are protected, and we handle your report confidentially in accordance with the requirements of the Whistleblower Protection Directive.
The reporter receives an acknowledgement of receipt within seven days and feedback within three months of the report being received. You can read more about data processing in the whistleblowing channel’s privacy notice.
Who can make a report?
A report can be made by a person who is connected through their work to Cervi or any of its subsidiaries. They may be, for example, a current or former employee, a job applicant, a self-employed person, a shareholder, a volunteer, an unpaid trainee, or a person working under the supervision and direction of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Topics of reports
Whistleblower protection requires that the reporter has reasonable grounds to believe that the reported information was true at the time of reporting and that the report falls within one of the following areas covered by the EU Whistleblowing Directive:
- public procurement
- financial services, anti-money laundering and prevention of terrorist financing
- product safety
- transport safety
- environmental protection
- nuclear safety
- food and feed safety, animal health and welfare
- public health
- consumer protection
- protection of privacy and personal data, and security of network and information systems
When a report concerns these areas, the reporter is entitled to whistleblower protection under the directive. For example, customer complaints concerning Cervi or Cervi’s subsidiaries do not belong in this channel.
