Welcome to Cepheo’s whistleblowing reporting channel

What can you report?

When submitting a report, you must have valid reasons to believe that the information you submit is true at the time of reporting. The purpose of the reporting channel is to prevent and detect fraud and corruption, illegal activities and non-compliance with rules in a range of areas. It can also be about illegal, unethical or harmful activities that can negatively affect others.

For example:

• Financial crime and fraud.
• Corruption and bribery.
• Environmental offences or health and safety risks.
• Deliberate violations of the law.

The misconduct does not have to be current or ongoing, it can also apply to the reporting of previous misconduct. For Cepheo employees, the purpose of this service is not to voice dissatisfaction with working conditions, organisation or management, or conflicts in the workplace.

Reports of misconduct that exclusively affect the whistleblower or his/her work situation are generally not considered to be a whistleblowing case.

Your report

Your report should contain the following information:

• The type of misconduct you wish to report.
• Where it has taken place.
• When it happened. Provide time and date and if anything is recurring.
• Documentation in any form if you have access to it. If you don’t have access but know documentation exists, include what type of documentation it is and where it can be found.
• Details of any other action that you have taken in relation to the misconduct.

Note! It is important that you read and understand the content in the Privacy information link before submitting your report. Any personal data that is clearly not relevant to your report should not be submitted. If you still submit such information, we may delete it without informing you.

Anonymity

You remain completely anonymous when you submit a report, unless you voluntarily provide personal information. There is no obligation to provide any personal information.

How we handle your report

When you submit a report, we will:

• Confirm receipt within 7 calendar days.
• Provide feedback on the progress or outcome within 3 months of acknowledgment.
• Assign an impartial person or department to review your case, typically HR or Compliance. If there is any conflict of interest, another neutral person will be appointed.
• Investigate your report with due diligence and confidentiality.
• Maintain communication with you (if you provide contact details) to request additional information and share updates.

If you prefer, you can report externally to competent authorities in your country or EU bodies. Below are examples of national authorities.
