Whistleblowing policy at Hydroware

Why a whistleblowing policy?

With this whistleblower policy, we set out procedures and safeguards in situations where serious misconduct within our organization is reported and there is a public interest in this being made public. The policy has been developed with consideration of the Directive from EU and the Swedish law, “Lag (2021:890) om skydd för personer som rapporterar om missförhållanden”.

Our starting point

We cherish a corporate culture characterized by openness and dialogue. When problems arise, we hope for conversations, preferably at an early stage. Even if there is no misconduct of such a nature as to cause an alarm in accordance with this policy, we always encourage an open conversation directly with your manager or the CEO.

Who can blow the whistle?

A person who in a work-related context has learned of or obtained information regarding misconduct has the right to report this. This can be for an example: Employees, volunteers, interns, shareholders, consultants and suppliers.

Ways to blow the whistle.

At Hydroware there are the opportunity to blow the whistle both verbally and in writing by:

  • Send an email to: hr@hydroware.se
  • By mail to: Hydroware, att. Annie Alm, Box 66, 34221 Alvesta, Sweden

Response

As soon as somebody blow the whistle, the whistleblower must receive a confirmation that the whistleblowing has been received. Immediately after, there will be an orderly investigation/analysis of the information received.

To the extent that it can be considered appropriate, we regularly give feedback to the whistleblower about how the case is handled.
