Web Whistleblowing
 

INTRODUCTION

Accolade has established an Integrity Line (referred to as the “Integrity Line”) and implemented various channels for handling whistleblower reports in accordance with relevant whistleblower protection laws. The Integrity Line operates as a confidential service available to the reporting persons non-stop maintained and administered by an independent provider, while the submitted reports are being investigated by internal competent persons. Users of the Integrity Line can remain anonymous, unless local laws require otherwise.

The Integrity Line is open to all persons who have become aware of an illegal activity in connection with their work or similar activity performed for Accolade, including business partners, tenants, purchasers, suppliers and agents. The Integrity Line can be used to report suspicions of, in particular, the following types of wrongdoing:

• breaches of EU law,
• criminal offence, including theft and fraud, or misdemeanour,
• violations of Accolade principles and procedures,
• bullying, harassment, discrimination or substance abuse,
• violations of prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing,
• violations of rules pertaining to the protection of privacy and personal data, and the security of network and information systems,
• threats to health and safety of persons,
• damage to the environment,
• violations of other statutory obligations,
• attempts to suppress or conceal information regarding any of the above.
