Good keywords for your searches include:
- Grievance mechanisms
- Whistleblowing
- Ethics Line/Point
- Email Addresses
- @
Things to keep in mind:
- No points given if whistleblowing is only for reasons of financial misconduct
- The company should receive the point for discloses data about the grievances if they disclose only the number of grievances filed. The company should not receive the point if they disclose the number of grievances address or resolved without disclosing the number of grievances made in the first place. Best practice is when companies disclose all three.
