Top of page 8 - it specifies officers, employees, workers, contractors and agents, but I am unsure if this covers supply chain workers

Re: Hotline, email, contact form, Business Conduct Guidelines (BCG) violation hotline, HR services complaints and suggestions hotline, grievance mailbox regarding performance appraisals (p. 8).

Re: Whistleblowers protection, the report indeed mentions whistleblowing (p. 8), but there is no explicit reference to anonymity, therefore I have unticked Whistleblower protection.

Re: Focal points, it seems to be the Committee of Ethics and Compliance (p. 8).

 

Re: suppliers: There is no mention of the availability of the same instruments for suppliers. There is a reference to "the complaint/whistle-blowing mailbox regarding any procurement issues" (p. 8), but it is unclear whom this addressed to.
