Ethics Hotline

Every violation report is important and helps us to prevent economic losses and damage to our reputation. With your help, we can ensure our integrity and reliability and thereby also our success.

The Ethics Hotline may not be used to make false accusations against others, and altogether, deliberately untrue information may not be reported.

We encourage you to provide your name in the report. Regardless of whether you do so or not, please open a secure post box. This makes it safer and easier for us to communicate.

All reports are strictly confidential.

What can be reported?

In the Ethics Hotline, you can report serious matters such as, e.g., bribery, extortion, embezzlement, theft, accounting irregularities, etc.

Matters such as bullying, dissatisfaction with wages, violations of the alcohol policy, etc., should not be reported here. They should instead be reported through the normal channels.

Anonymity

Neither Coloplast nor Kerecis will monitor or log the identity of individuals reporting to the Ethics Hotline system. Neither Coloplast nor Kerecis will track or trace PCs, smartphones or other devices used for accessing the Ethics hotline system. You can report to the hotline from any network and any device public, private or company provided.

To ensure your anonymity, you must do the following:

• Access the Ethics Hotline system directly by copying or writing the URL address in an internet browser rather than by clicking on a link.
• Do not write your own personal details.

Open a post box

When you send the report, you have the option to choose whether you remain available for further inquiries by opening a secure post box.

We recommend that you make yourself available because we may not be able to finalise the case without further information from you.

When you create a post box, you will be given a case number, and you will choose a password. You will use the case number and password to log in to the post box in order to see if you have received any questions.

Regardless of whether or not you remain anonymous or you write your name, we ask you to open a post box. This makes it safer and easier for us to communicate.

All communication with us is anonymous if you wish it to be.
