Whistleblowing
Orskov Foods has established a whistleblowing scheme. The purpose of which is to ensure openness and transparency in relation to any illegalities and serious irregularities in the workplace.
At Orskov Foods, we want to ensure that employees and external parties can report serious violations of the law or a suspicion hereof as well as other serious matters. The whistleblower scheme should be seen as a supplement to the direct and daily communication in the workplace which we recommend to use if possible.
How to report:
Reports are made via the form below, from which the report is sent to a separate mailbox to which only HR has access. Reports are treated confidentially, but cannot be submitted anonymously.
In order for us to effectively deal with and investigate the reported matter, it is important that the report contains:
Comprehensive and detailed description of the objectionable conditions, including date, place and name(s) of the parties involved, as far as possible.
Any documents or evidence for use in the treatment and investigation of the conditions.
Please submit your report here:
Reports are handled by HR. When HR consider that a report has been properly dealt with and investigated, HR will give you feedback as soon as possible and no later than three months after you have received confirmation of the report, to the extent that this is possible.
Reports are treated confidentially, but not anonymously. As whistleblower, you are guaranteed protection by the Whistleblower Protection Act.
Examples of offences:
The whistleblower scheme should only be used by employees and external parties to report serious offences or suspicions thereof, including matters relating to, among other things, the following:
Criminal conditions: misuse of financial resources, theft, fraud, embezzlement, bribery, forgery, etc.
Other serious offences or repeated violations of other legislation, including legislation aimed at ensuring public health, safety in the transport sector or protection of nature and the environment.
Serious irregularities regarding accounting, internal accounting control and auditing, as well as suspected corruption.
Sexual harassment, i.e. any form of unwanted verbal, non-verbal or physical behavior with sexual undertones that has the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of another person.
Serious personal conflicts at the workplace, including violence or sexual assault, as well as serious harassment due to race, political or religious affiliation, etc.
On the other hand, less serious offenses will not be able to be reported, e.g. of cooperation difficulties, incompetence, absenteeism, violations of internal guidelines of a less serious nature, including rules on sick leave, alcohol, clothing, private use of office supplies and information on other staff-related conflicts at the workplace.
