Reporting non-compliance and reporting irregularities
The timely identification and reporting of potential misconduct is an important part of protecting the integrity of the Ericsson Nikola Tesla Group’s business operations. To this end, a reporting system has been established that enables employees and external stakeholders to safely and easily report suspected violations of laws or the Code of Business Ethics.
To facilitate online reporting, a Compliance Line has been established for employees and external stakeholders. The Compliance Line is available 24/7, throughout the year. Reports may be submitted anonymously, in which case the system anonymizes the sender’s IP address, or with the reporter’s identifying information.
All reports are handled confidentially and objectively, in accordance with applicable regulations. Personal data and other information related to a report are processed appropriately, and access is granted only to individuals who require such information for the purpose of assessing the allegations and handling the report.
Ericsson Nikola Tesla Group does not tolerate retaliation, discrimination or any adverse consequences against persons who report potential misconduct in good faith.
