AikGroup (CY) Limited is committed to endorsing a corporate culture based on ethics and integrity, thus fostering an environment in which all stakeholders are encouraged to report any potential breaches of Code of conduct or regulatory requirements.
Reporting illegitimate conduct can sometimes be difficult for various reasons. Therefore, we have launched Whistleapp, as a whistleblowing tool that enables you to report a breach, offering you also the possibility to report anonymously .
What is Whistleblowing?
Whistleblowing refers to the act of safe and secure reporting of information concerning breaches or potential breaches that occur in a work-related context, including:
- Criminal acts: corruption, fraud, bribery, money laundering
- Regulatory breaches: financial, banking, legal, or internal rules
- Ethical misconduct: conflicts of interest, abuse of position, code of conduct violations
- Health, safety, and environment: risks to individuals or environmental harm
- Data and consumer protection: breaches of confidentiality, GDPR, or consumer rights
- Reporting irregularities: manipulation of financial records or misleading disclosures
The purpose of whistleblowing is to allow early detection and correction of irregularities, unethical conduct, or unlawful activity in a secure and confidential manner.
