Whistleblowing Mechanism

Hellenic Cables sets the proper communication channels for reporting illegal behavior by any Company employee. To this end, the Company has implemented a whistleblower mechanism that is in full compliance with the European Whistleblowing Directive. The mechanism intends to act as buffer to avoid and ultimately prevent the possibility of violations related to illegal behavior, conflicts of interest and violations of the Employee Code of Conduct. The mechanism furthermore can act as an early warning system for behaviors that will ultimately lead to law violations.

The mechanism is open to reports from employees as well as customers, suppliers or other third parties. All reports are treated confidentially by an external party so comprehensive protection is ensured for the reporting party.
