The Global Whistle-blower Management Guidance helps identify potential approaches to protect the confidentiality of the identity of any individual who raises a concern or question or reports or provides information regarding ethics matters (“Whistleblowers”), to enable the appropriate division to conduct an appropriate, fair and thorough investigation and post-reporting event monitoring.
The purpose of the guidance is also to ensure follow up and monitoring of Whistleblowers such that retaliation resulting from reporting concerns, providing information or raising questions can be easily identified and dealt with.
