"Raising concerns

BNP Paribas employees are required to report any effective or suspected breach of the Code of Conduct, Group policies and procedures, or regulations.

If they cannot send their report to their manager or through another usual channel, they have the option of raising an ethics alert, in accordance with the whistleblowing procedure in force within the Group.

Any problem concerning a violation or a suspected violation of human rights within the framework of the activities of the Group or of its supply chain can be reported by an ethics alert, except when specified otherwise by local regulations or procedures.

Our ethics alert policy guarantees employees exercising their right to ethics alert protection against the risk of reprisals for having launched an internal alert in good faith"

Describes Ethics Alert, but unclear what this ethics alert entails. Protection does exist for those who provide these alerts.
