ASSL Whistleblowing (See Something Say Something)

ASSL Whistle Blowing

ASSL through its Code of Conduct requires employees to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. Employees must practice honesty, integrity and loyalty in fulfilling their responsibilities and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. ASSL encourages whistleblowing as a measure to protect the welfare and well-being of employees, the company and all stakeholders, providing that persons act in good faith, to report any suspected act of misconduct by employees, or risk/threat to ASSL and its stakeholders. This policy ensures the protection of individuals who report activities believed to be illegal, dishonest, unethical, or otherwise improper.

 

Potential breaches of ASSL’s Code of Ethics and Conduct include:

 

  • Employee relations and human resources issues, such as harassment, discrimination, or misconduct.;
  • Ethics and compliance issues, such as financial reporting, insider trading, bribers or conflicts of interest;
  • Loss prevention and asset protection issues, such as criminal activity (for example fraud, threats and violence, alcohol/drug abuse or internal theft), the security and protection of assets and facilities or actions involving harm to the environment; and
  • Health and Safety, such as taking unnecessary risks, not following mandatory guidelines or false reporting.
