Whistleblower Policy

A whistleblower policy is a document that outlines the procedures for reporting and investigating suspected misconduct or violations of law within a corporation. The policy typically applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the corporation, as well as its contractors and suppliers. It encourages individuals to report any concerns about unethical or illegal behavior, such as fraud, corruption, or harassment, and provides a confidential and anonymous reporting mechanism, such as a hotline or web portal. The policy also prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers and ensures that all reports are promptly and thoroughly investigated by an independent party. The results of the investigation are reported to the board of directors or a designated committee, and appropriate corrective actions are taken. A whistleblower policy is an important tool for promoting a culture of integrity and accountability within the corporation.
