Ethics
At Smulders, we do business with integrity and transparency. If you become aware of misconduct, a breach of the law, a violation of our Code of Conduct or another serious concern about integrity in a work-related context, we encourage you to speak up.
How can you report a concern?
You can use the reporting channel that best suits your situation, subject to the legal requirements that apply. The available channels are explained in the Smulders Whistleblower Policy and include:
- your local reporting contact
- management
- email or telephone
- a personal meeting
- the dedicated whistleblowing email address: ethics@smulders.com
- the Eiffage Integrity Line
You can report in your own name or anonymously, where the law allows this.
What is the Eiffage Integrity Line?
This is a secure, multilingual reporting platform hosted on behalf of the Eiffage Group. It’s available in every country where the Group operates. Reports made through the platform are handled by authorised local and/or Group alert managers. They process each report in line with the applicable whistleblower procedure and confidentiality requirements. See our policy.
What happens after you report a concern?
We treat all reports confidentially. You will normally receive confirmation that we have received your report within seven days. Where possible, you will also receive feedback on the follow-up within three months.
If you report a concern in good faith, you’re protected against retaliation in accordance with the applicable law and the Smulders Whistleblower Policy.
Where can you find more information?
The Smulders Whistleblower Policy explains which concerns you can report, which reporting channels are available and how you are protected. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact ethics@smulders.com.
