We foster an open culture, encouraging everyone within our business or connected to it to speak up about suspected malpractice, unethical behaviour, or breaches of our anti-slavery policy. Secure and confidential reporting channels are available, and all reports will be treated with seriousness and sensitivity. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from any form of retaliation and will take prompt and appropriate action in response to concerns raised.
