Rapportering kan ske skriftligt:

Så hanteras rapporter

  • Rapporter tas emot av VD eller utsedd oberoende mottagare.
  • Vi bekräftar mottagande så snart det är rimligt, normalt inom 7 dagar om kontaktuppgifter finns.
  • Bedömning och utredning sker proportionerligt utifrån ärendets art och risk.
  • Åtgärder kan omfatta CAPA, förbättringar av rutiner, avtalsåtgärder eller kontakt med myndigheter när det krävs.
  • Återkoppling lämnas när det är möjligt, normalt inom 3 månader, beroende på ärendet och juridiska begränsningar.

Skydd mot repressalier

Aqua-Nova AB tolererar inte repressalier mot någon som i god tro rapporterar misstänkta missförhållanden.
Repressalier kan vara uppsägning, degradering, diskriminering, hot eller annan negativ behandling.
Misstänkta repressalier ska rapporteras och hanteras skyndsamt.

Sekretess och dataskydd

Information i visselblåsarärenden hanteras konfidentiellt och delas endast med de personer som behöver den för att hantera ärendet.
Personuppgifter behandlas i enlighet med gällande dataskyddsregler.
