The designated reporting channels will be published after activation.
9. Responsibilities of Top Management
- Top Management shall lead by example, promote compliance with the Code of Conduct and ensure proportionate corrective action when breaches are confirmed. The CEO is responsible for ordinary ethics reporting, while concerns involving the CEO or creating a conflict of interest are handled independently as described in Section 10.
10. Confidential Ethics Reporting & Grievance Mechanism
Employees, collaborators, contractors, suppliers, project partners and other stakeholders may report suspected breaches of the Code of Conduct, discrimination, harassment, human rights concerns, conflicts of interest or other unethical conduct relevant to Kolibree-Tech.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the ordinary designated recipient and case manager of confidential ethics reports.
Where the concern involves the CEO or creates an actual or perceived conflict of interest, it must be submitted directly to the separately appointed Independent Ethics Reviewer via an alternative channel to which the CEO has no access. This independent function must be designated and activated before publication of the operational reporting procedure.
Reports are handled on a need-to-know basis with restricted access, confidentiality, appropriate conflict checks, documented assessment, proportionate remedial action and protection against retaliation for good-faith reports. Confidentiality is provided within applicable legal limits; anonymity is supported only if the selected channel allows it.
When return contact is available, receipt is acknowledged promptly. The authorised recipient assesses urgency and conflicts, investigates impartially, records findings and proportionate corrective actions, and provides suitable feedback and closure information where possible. Personal data are minimised, secured and retained only for a documented, necessary period under applicable data-protection rules.
This is a voluntary corporate ethics and grievance procedure, not a statutory D.Lgs. 24/2023 whistleblowing channel. The written and independent-alternative reporting routes, recipients and secure processing arrangements shall be published on the Our Values reporting page only after they have been activated and tested.
