Unitrade’s Whistleblowing Policy directly supports the Group’s Core Values, Code of Ethics and ethical corporate governance standards.
The Policy provides an avenue to encourage and enable employees and others to raise legitimate concerns to be objectively investigated and addressed within the Group prior to seeking resolution outside the Group.
In line with this, the Group has adopted the Policy that outlines the Group’s commitment to ensure that employees and other stakeholders are able to raise genuine concerns in relation to breach of a legal obligation, miscarriage of justice, danger to health, safety and environment as well as policy breaches at the earliest opportunity without being subject to victimisation, harassment or discriminatory treatment, and to have such concerns thoroughly investigated.
The Policy sets out the mechanism and framework by which employees, contractors, consultants and any other individuals or organisation who have dealings with the Group can confidently voice concerns/complaints in a responsible manner without fear of discriminatory treatment.
