Business Partners International Ethics and Whistleblower hotline

One of our company values is integrity, which means that our actions should always be consistent and reflect ethical, honest and transparent behaviour. Furthermore, we should respect all individuals regardless of race, gender or religion.

To ensure and track adherence to the integrity value, Business Partners International has an Ethics and Whistleblower Hotline that serves as a mechanism for employees, clients, shareholders and the public to bring any unethical practices to the attention of management. To protect the whistle-blower, the Business Partners International Ethics and Whistleblower Hotline acts as an independent conduit between management, employees and stakeholders.

It is independently operated by the audit firm, Deloitte. All information is treated confidentially and the anonymity of the whistle-blower is always protected.

To allow us to address the complaints reported, we receive a re​gular analysis of the call and email complaints and independent investigations are launched where necessary.

Please use this opportunity to report any unethical behaviour, theft, fraud or related activity within our company.
