Whistle-blower system 3.4.2.3 Pernod Ricard encourages a culture of trust, openness and transparency, where all employees can raise their genuine concerns in confidence. The Group’s Code of Business Conduct advocates a Speak-up policy, calling on all employees to inform management of any suspicions they may have. This may relate to a practice or situation deemed to be contrary to or inconsistent with this Code, associated policies or any legal or regulatory standard. In FY19, Pernod Ricard launched a Group-wide system titled Speak-Up. This allows stakeholders who wish to report such misconducts to the Group to do so in a safe and confidential manner. Hosted by a third party, it is available 24/7. Reports that are deemed to be filed in good faith can be subject to internal investigation following an preliminary assessment from the Integrity Committee. This is comprised of the following Group-level functions: Legal, Internal Audit, HR and S&R.

If the allegations reported end up to be substantiated, the Integrity Committee or its local delegate examines their severity and makes recommendations to the management who decides on the appropriate mitigation and/or remediation measures, and/or disciplinary sanctions against the wrongdoer(s). Pernod Ricard has a zero-tolerance policy towards retaliation against anyone who has reported an allegation or supported an investigation in good faith. Pernod Ricard conducts dedicated workshops with Human Resources Directors and with the legal and compliance network to manage whistleblowing cases and conduct investigations. The Group also runs global communication campaigns to increase awareness and improve employee understanding on what can be reported and how alerts are being processed.
