Your contribution can play a key role in addressing broader issues. ​

You will not experience any disadvantages or harm as a result of your report if you acted to the best of your knowledge and belief and did not violate applicable law yourself. Reports may be submitted by various groups of people, including our own employees, employees of supplier companies, other contractors and business partners, and civil society.​
