"Community feedback mechanisms are in place at all our major facilities. They enable employees, contractors, people in our operational communities, and third parties to raise concerns. These feedback mechanisms, along with our Shell Global Helpline (which is operated by an independent provider), ensure concerns can be surfaced and that we can resolve them."

pg. 18

"The Shell Global Helpline is a means to report grievances or any activity that is inconsistent, including human rights violations. All employees and contract staff in Shell and for third parties with whom Shell has a business relationship can use the helpline if they observe wrongdoing by a Shell company or employee."

"In addition, Shell has developed a Whistleblower Policy for Australia."

"Australia has enacted a legal regime that provides specific protections for those making reports of certain types of wrongdoing (the Australian Whistleblower laws)."

Whistleblower protections seem to apply only to Australian whistleblowers, and it is not clear this covers employees or also suppliers
