Whistleblowing
Asker is committed to conduct business in a fair and ethical way. Our good reputation is based on integrity and sound business practice. We strive to maintain a transparent business environment and high standards in line with our Code of conduct.
As an employee within the group you have an important role by raising concerns such as non-compliance with laws or regulations, violations of our Code of Conduct or other forms of serious ethical misconduct. We seek to sustain a culture that encourages everyone to speak up. You will not suffer any retaliation or other negative consequences for raising concerns in good faith.
The Asker Whistleblower system is a secure and confidential platform designed to empower employees, business partners, stakeholders and other third parties to report any type of violation. It provides a safe and trusted space for reporting reasonable suspicions of misconduct and promotes open communication and accountability.
We investigate, handle and follow up on all forms of reporting. A person responsible for a breach will face appropriate consequences. Local Whistleblowing Teams must report decisions and outcome of completed investigations to the Group Whistleblowing Team.
Systemic issues in the organisation will be carefully considered in order to prevent similar breaches in the future. The Group Whistleblowing Team regularly present statistics of reported whistleblowing cases to the Board.
