Speak Up!

At Sonepar, we are committed to fostering a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability. To support this commitment, we have established a Speak Up policy.

Associates and third parties may raise their concerns by using the Speak Up Line.

Associates may also contact their manager, Human Resources or the Legal and Compliance Departments.

What is the Speak Up Line?

The Speak Up Line is a dedicated service that allows associates, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report concerns anonymously or openly.

This service is available 24/7, and ensures that your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed promptly and professionally.

You may use the Speak Up Line to report on human rights, fraud, corruption, influence peddling, data privacy, harassment, international sanctions and embargoes, health and safety, the environment, discrimination, crimes, and other offenses.

What Information Should be Provided?

All reports must be as factual and complete as possible.

Reports must contain information that answers the following questions:

  • What happened?

  • When did it happen?

  • Who was, or is, involved?

  • Are the circumstances ongoing?

  • What is the risk or urgency of the situation?

  • How do you know about these circumstances?

  • Are there witnesses or any other people affected by the situation?

If a reporter has documentation or other supporting evidence, it can be shared via the platform too.

Confidentiality and Non-retaliation

Reports made through the Speak Up Line are treated with the utmost confidentiality. You may choose to remain anonymous. However, note that a non-anonymous report will be treated more efficiently.

Sonepar strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

 

Follow-Up and Resolution

After you submit a report, our compliance team will review and investigate the matter thoroughly. You may be contacted for additional information if needed. We are committed to resolving issues fairly and taking appropriate corrective actions when necessary.

We believe that everyone has a role in maintaining our integrity standards. By using the Speak Up Line, you help us uphold our values and ensure a safe, respectful, and compliant workplace for all.

Thank you for your commitment to integrity!
