Whistleblowing channel
Whistleblowing channel
St1 prioritises open dialogue across all aspects of our operations and value chain, ensuring that both our employees and stakeholders feel heard. We take any possible reports of misconduct or unethical behaviour against our Code of Conduct seriously and urge all stakeholders to report concerns openly.
Mechanisms for raising concerns
Employees are encouraged to report observations of misconduct to their managers, Human Resources, and management team members. St1 also offers a whistleblowing channel SpeakUp for anonymous reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct and ethical guidelines, including human rights violations. This channel is accessible to all workers, including those within the value chain.
How to report a concern?
Handling anonymous reports
This mechanism ensures individuals can raise concerns confidentially and transparently. By fostering trust and accountability, the whistleblowing channel underlines our commitment to respecting worker rights and addressing potential issues proactively. St1 prohibits retaliating against persons who report a concern in good faith. The anonymity of the channels ensures protection for the whistleblowers.
Access to whistleblowing reports through the reporting channel is restricted to the Whistleblowing Core team, consisting of selected members from Legal, HR and Sustainability Governance and Performance -teams. All reports are evaluated and investigated (pre-screened by more than one person in the St1 Whistleblowing Core team) to determine the extent of further investigation.
Since the introduction of SpeakUp in 2020, St1 we has emphasized employee training and continues to promote the importance of reporting any perceived misconduct. This allows us to take appropriate actions and improve our operations where necessary. We also welcome feedback through this channel.
