Whistleblowing policy
What’s This All About?
As part of Alokai's commitment to creating an open and transparent workplace, we’ve implemented a whistleblowing procedure based on the EU Whistleblower Directive (Directive 2019/1937) and the Polish Act of June 14th, 2004, on the protection of whistleblowers. This process is designed to give you a safe, confidential, and secure way to report any concerns or misconduct that you may come across at Alokai.
The EU introduced this directive to protect people like you – employee candidates, employees and collaborators who speak up about issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. The goal is to make sure that anyone who reports a problem, whether it’s unethical behavior or a violation of the law, is protected from any negative consequences or retaliation.
We are also happy to inform you that the Compliance Officer to whom you can report a problem or concern, acts as an impartial person within Alokai. Should a report involve the Compliance Officer, we provide the Alternative Contact Unit to serve as the alternative contact in an impartial capacity.
Why It Matters:
Your Voice Matters: By reporting any concerns, you’re helping to maintain the Alokai’s integrity and fostering a healthy work environment.
Confidential and Safe: You can report issues, knowing that your identity will be protected and any retaliation is strictly forbidden.
Support and Guidance: Our processes ensure that all reports are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. You won’t be left wondering what happens next – we’re here to support you.
Benefits for Everyone:
A Stronger, More Transparent Company: When we address issues early, we prevent bigger problems down the line.
Legal Compliance: By following the EU directive and Polish law, we’re not only staying on the right side of the law, but also making sure we’re a responsible and ethical company.
Positive Work Environment: The whistleblower process helps build trust, showing that we care about doing the right thing and that your contributions are valued.
If you ever notice something that doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate to use this process. Together, we’re helping to create a better, more open workplace for everyone. Let’s work together to make sure our company stays a place where transparency, integrity, and trust come first!
