Whistleblower Policy
Safeguarding integrity with confidential reporting and protection for whistleblowers.
Whistleblower Policy
BQCIS is committed to fostering an environment of transparency and accountability where concerns about potential misconduct can be raised without fear of retaliation. Our Whistleblower Policy provides a secure framework for reporting such concerns.
This policy ensures that all reports are treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and that the individuals who raise them are protected. It is a critical component of our governance and a testament to our commitment to ethical conduct.
Encouraging a Culture of Transparency
The BQCIS Whistleblower Policy is designed to empower employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to report serious concerns, such as unlawful conduct, financial malpractice, or dangers to public health and safety. We believe that providing a safe and reliable mechanism for reporting is essential for early detection of risks and for maintaining a healthy corporate culture. This policy outlines who is protected, the types of conduct that can be reported, and the robust processes we have in place to ensure confidentiality and prevent any form of retaliation.
