Important

The portal enables you to report matters to the Labeyrie Fine Foods Group Ethics Officer which you feel are: unethical behaviour; a serious situation which may be illegal or against the Code of Ethics and Good Business Conduct of the Labeyrie Fine Foods Group; or are that runs counter to the general interest (e.g. theft, fraud, harassment, food safety hazard, environmental hazard)

Your report must be based on facts which you learned directly or witnessed yourself.

The Portal allows you to keep your identity secret, from the moment you make your whistleblowing report. You may choose not to reveal your identity, but in this case, your report will not be processed unless you provide detailed factual information and the purported incidents are very serious.

The portal is not suitable for immediate safety or security threats (emergencies). For emergencies, please contact local authorities and public emergency services.

Should the reported incident allegedly involve the Labeyrie Fine Foods Group Ethics Officer herself, please see the Group Whistleblowing Procedure posted on this site for the person to contact and the procedure to follow.

Can I send an anonymous alert?

You can send an alert anonymously. However, we recommend that you identify yourself, bearing in mind that your identity will be kept confidential throughout the alert handling process.

What happens after I submit an alert?

Once the alert has been submitted, the platform generates a unique confidential code that you must retain in order to access the alert follow-up and secure messaging system from the home page. Once your alert has been received, you will be informed :

- that your alert has been received, within 7 days ;

- the measures planned or taken to assess the accuracy of your alert, within a maximum of three months;

- any measures taken to deal with the alert, within a maximum of three months. The time taken to process your alert varies and depends on the complexity of the facts reported and the nature of the information you are able to provide.

All exchanges on the platform are fully encrypted and can be accessed by clicking on the "Access an existing alert" button and entering your confidential code.

Is my alert protected by confidentiality?

Alerts are collected and processed in such a way as to guarantee the strict confidentiality of :

- your identity as the author of an alert ;

- the identity of the person(s) referred to in the alert;

- of any third party mentioned in the alert;

- the documents, information or data collected in connection with the alert.

The persons called upon to know the content of the alert shall take all necessary measures to preserve the security and guarantee the confidentiality of the documents and information, whether they are collected, processed or stored. They are also bound by a written undertaking of reinforced confidentiality.

How is the admissibility of my alert assessed?

The admissibility of your alert will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria:

- Do the facts reported contravene the law, regulations or the Group's ethical documentation?

- Are the facts reported described in sufficient detail?

- Is the alert issued in good faith and without financial consideration?

Note: If the information was obtained outside the professional context, the person reporting must have had personal knowledge of it.

To know

The portal isolates each report. For each report, you have your own private discussion system for sending and receiving messages.

The information which you provide will be accessible only to the Labeyrie Fine Foods Group Ethics Officer and a very limited number of people assigned to work on your report. These people may access the information only after signing a non-disclosure agreement, breach of which could lead to a fine and imprisonment.

You will be able to follow the processing of your report and communicate with the Ethics Officer using the secret code generated by the platform when you send in your report.

Every report will be diligently analysed and subject to a detailed internal audit.
