The channel is for reporting breaches that come to your knowledge in a work-related context, in particular in the areas covered by the applicable legislation.

How to report
A report may be submitted either named or anonymously. If you choose to identify yourself, your identity is treated as confidential information and is only disclosed where the law requires it.

Guarantees
Confidentiality
The identity of the reporting person, and any information from which it could be inferred, are treated confidentially, and access is restricted to the people designated to handle the report.
Prohibition of retaliation
Acts of retaliation against anyone who submits a report in good faith are not permitted, in particular as regards appraisal, promotion, training, mobility, disciplinary sanctions or termination of contract.
Data processing
Personal data collected in connection with a report are processed only for its assessment and follow-up, under the Privacy Policy and the applicable legislation.
Unfounded reports
Deliberately submitting false reports does not benefit from the guarantees provided for and may give rise to liability.
Handling[JAF.20.05]
Handling
We register the report, assess whether it is admissible, establish the facts and take the appropriate measures. We keep the reporting person informed whenever a contact has been given for that purpose.
External channels
Using the internal channel does not affect the right to turn to the external reporting channels of the competent authorities, as provided by law.
