Whistleblowing instructions
Please note that in case of regular feedback, you may want to use the first regular channels, like your Solnet Group contact or info@solnet.group . If this does not seem to be a good option or does not work, you can always use this (whistleblowing) channel to report the matter. The whistleblowing channel has been implemented in such a way that the whistleblower cannot be identified if you wish to report anonymously.
Whistleblowing channel
-
To promote an open, transparent, and safe culture, we have introduced a whistle-blowing channel. The introduction of the Whistleblower Protection Act and the European Union's Whistleblower Protection Directive are the basis for the introduction of the Whistleblower Reporting System.
-
The Whistle-blowing Channel provides a confidential channel to bring to an internal investigation a suspicion of possible misconduct or policy violation. Whistle-blowing can be done anonymously.
-
All reports will be treated confidentially and in a way that protects the privacy of the whistleblower and the subject. Personal data is processed following the obligations under the Data Protection Act (1050/2018).
-
A report can be filed on the basis of suspicion and without actual evidence, as long as it is made honestly and in good faith. Whistle-blowing reports are handled by 2 personnel appointed in administration, who will launch the necessary investigations. Case management is confidential. Confidentiality also applies when the whistleblower reveals her/his/their identity.
-
If the report concerns one of the case managers, she/ he/they is not involved in the case management and investigation of the case.
-
Once received, we will acknowledge receipt of your report within 7 days. If necessary, we will ask you for further information during the investigation. This step will also be done through the channel, confidentially and anonymously. We will inform you of the outcome of the investigation via the First Whistle within 3 months of the notification.
-
At the end of the reporting process, you will receive a personal code to track the progress of the report.
-
If you have filed a report and lose the case code, we will ask you to file a new report referring to your original report. This will allow us to continue the investigation in cooperation with you.
