Welcome to atNorth reporting channel 

You can use our internal reporting channel, or whistleblowing function, to report suspected misconduct and wrongdoings in our organisation. The aim of our whistleblowing function is to provide a better opportunity to disclose various forms of misconduct, as well as to provide enhanced protection for the reporting person. We guarantee that your case and your identity will be treated confidentially. You are also protected against retaliation. 

1 – What can you report?

When submitting a report, you must have valid reasons to believe that the information you submit is true at the time of reporting. The purpose of the reporting channel is to prevent and detect fraud and corruption, illegal activities, and non-compliance with rules in a range of areas. It can also be about illegal, unethical or harmful activities that can negatively affect others.

For example:

  • Financial crime and fraud
  • Corruption and bribery
  • Environmental offences or health and safety risks
  • Deliberate violations of the law

The misconduct does not have to be current or ongoing, it can also apply to the reporting of previous misconduct. The purpose of this service is not to voice dissatisfaction with working conditions, organisation or management, or conflicts in the workplace. Reports of misconduct that exclusively affect the whistleblower or his/her work situation are generally not considered to be a whistleblowing case. 

2 – Your report

Your report should contain the following information:

  • The type of misconduct you wish to report.
  • Where it has taken place.
  • When it happened. Provide time and date and if anything is recurring.
  • Documentation in any form if you have access to it. If you don’t have access but know documentation exists, include what type of documentation it is and where it can be found.
  • Details of any other action that you have taken in relation to the misconduct.

Note! It is important that you read and understand to the content in the Data Privacy link before submitting your report. Any personal data that is clearly not relevant to your report should not be submitted. If you still submit such information, we may delete it without informing you. 

How your report is handled 

atNorth will make an initial assessment of your report to determine whether it is applicable for being handled in the whistleblowing channel. All reports will be assigned a unique case number and you will receive a verification code to confirm receipt of your report. You will receive the confirmation within 3 working days of acknowledgment of your report. You can use the verification code to submit additional information or get feedback on the case. The company will feedback to you on how the case has been handled within 10 working days. You can also find this feedback by logging in with your verification code. 

3 – External reporting

It is also possible to report misconduct externally to a competent authority who can receive, provide feedback, and follow up on whistleblowing cases and, where applicable, to EU institutions, bodies, or agencies. Further information can be found in the link External reporting. 

4 – Anonymity

You remain completely anonymous when you submit a report, unless you voluntarily provide personal information. There is no obligation to provide any personal information.
