1. PURPOSE
To support this commitment, a Whistleblower Policy has been developed which provides for:
- Mechanisms for individuals to raise legitimate concerns that relate to unacceptable conduct
- A clear standard and process for raising, investigating and addressing identified concerns
- Reasonable steps be taken to support and protect the anonymity of an individual raising a concern in good faith (the ‘Whistleblower’)

- Employees of Contractors and Suppliers that provide services to the Company
- Relatives and dependents of those listed above
The Company has established a framework for reporting, investigating and protecting the confidentiality and privacy of the Whistleblower. This includes both internal and external reporting channels, whereby individuals can raise their concerns regarding unacceptable conduct confidentially and anonymously as contemplated by this Policy, including, but not limited to:
- Dishonest, fraudulent, corrupt or unlawful conduct or practices
- A breach of the Company’s Code of Conduct, policies, procedures or the applicable legal obligations
- Conduct that may cause financial or non-financial loss to the Company or damage the Company’s reputation
- Conduct endangering the environment, community, or the health and safety of any Individual which has been reported to management but not acted upon.
