Westcon strives to maintain an open business culture, with high ethical standards. We value safety and respect for everyone affected by our company. You play an important role in our success.
Notification provides an opportunity to report suspicions of misconduct, anything that is not in line with our values, ethical guidelines, procedures, policies, laws and regulations. The notification process is an early warning system that reduces risk.
Westcon employees typically report cases openly to their department manager, protective services representative or by using the QHSE reporting system. We encourage an environment that allows discussion and reporting of irregularities or wrongdoing openly. If it is not possible to report the situation openly to the line organization, or if an alert is ignored, the Westcon notification process can be used.
Notification occurs using the email address whistleblowing@westcon.no. This email is received by the General Manager (CEO) of Westcon Group. The CEO is the only person who has access to this email account. The CEO can also be contacted in other ways if the whistleblower prefers (e.g. by sending an anonymous letter by mail to “Westcon Group AS, Jektevikvegen 45, 5582 Ølensvåg, Att: General Manager”)
Individuals who report irregularities or wrongdoing will have their identity protected throughout the process and thereafter. All notifications will be treated fairly and correctly. Westcon will investigate all actual or suspected violations, and violations related to our Code of Ethics, corruption, human rights violations and other compliance incidents or other types of unethical or illegal acts. The notifier will be informed of the inquiry to the extent requested and deemed appropriate.
Reports made pursuant to this policy will be treated confidentially. Only people taking part in the investigation will be informed of the alert. On further investigation, however, it may become clear to other personnel who the whistleblower is. If it is likely that the identity will be known, the whistleblower will be notified first.
The management of Westcon acknowledges that notification is positive for the Company. It aids compliance, reduces errors, and can prevent harmful events from occurring. We will protect our personnel's right to notify.
