The statement refers to Accent Group's "whistle-blower policy", and provides the following description of the policy: "[it] explains the protections afforded to employees that raise concerns about misconduct and provides guidance on communicating these concerns to Accent Group. We aim to ensure that individuals feel supported to come forward if that have information concerns about serious misconduct." While not stated explicitly, this statement indicates that whistleblower protections are afforded to employees (but not indirect workers or contractors).
