Whistleblowing policy: a mechanism for reporting ethics concerns
Our whistleblowing policy offers a mechanism for employees and outside stakeholders—service providers, suppliers, and customers—to report ethics concerns, as required under France’s Sapin II Act of 9 December 2016 and the Duty of Care law of 27 March 2017.
Reporting information up the chain of command
Like other French companies, SNCF Group is required to have a mechanism for reporting crimes, threats or prejudice to the general interest, or a violation or attempt to cover up a violation of:
- an international commitment duly ratified or approved by France
- a unilateral act of an international organization taken on the basis of such a commitment
European Union law - a French statute or regulation
- SNCF Group’s Ethics Charter
- our Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct
What is covered by our whistleblowing policy?
Whistleblowing reports can cover one or more areas, including:
- finance
- corruption
- discrimination
- harassment
- conflicts of interest
- environmental violations
- disclosure of confidential information
Raise a whistleblowing concern
As you can see in this brief video, it’s easy to report a whistleblowing concern. We’ve developed a platform for whistleblowing reports from outside SNCF. It securely encrypts and stores data with complete confidentiality. Our whistleblowing system is only one of many steps taken by our Ethics Division to ensure that everyone at SNCF follows our ethical principles.
