Whistleblowing


At Sani/Ikos Group, we believe that creating a safe and open environment for our employees is essential.

 

The Whistleblowing Directive (EU) 2019/1937 is a European Union law designed to protect individuals who report wrongdoing in the workplace. Whether it’s a concern about unethical behavior, breaches of law, or other serious issues, the Directive ensures that whistleblowers can speak up without fear of retaliation.

 

Complying with the Directive

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency. By complying with the Whistleblowing Directive, we aim to:

  • Protect Our People: Employees are our greatest asset, and their safety, trust, and well-being are our top priorities. This law shields anyone who raises concerns, making sure they’re supported, not penalized.
  • Foster a Healthy Work Culture: Encouraging openness and accountability helps us maintain a positive workplace where everyone feels empowered to do the right thing.
  • Build Trust with Stakeholders: Clients, partners, and the public trust us to operate ethically. Compliance with the Whistleblowing Directive reinforces our commitment to doing business responsibly.
  • Prevent Issues Before They Grow: When employees feel safe to report concerns, it allows us to address problems early, preventing potential harm and strengthening our organization.

At Sani/Ikos Group, we take our responsibilities seriously and value every voice. Our commitment to the Whistleblowing Directive is just one way we’re ensuring a transparent, ethical, and supportive environment for all.
