You have several options if you would like to report suspected or known wrongdoing relating to the law, or to the policies or values of Tyréns.
You are encouraged to report known or suspected wrongdoing to a manager or a manager’s manager. If you prefer, speak to someone in Human Resources, Security or any Legal function instead.

Why do we have a whistleblowing portal in Tyréns?
The provision of a whistleblowing portal is part of our efforts for a Tyréns Group with strong values and ethics. It enables us to raise concerns about wrongdoing when we are not comfortable using other channels. We know that whistleblowing in the workplace helps us detect and deal with wrongdoing that could otherwise cause great harm. The existence of a whistleblowing portal is stipulated in the Tyréns Group Code of Conduct and in the Tyréns Group Business Ethics Policy. It is also a legal requirement for companies to provide channels for whistleblowing.
