We listen when you speak up


We have multiple channels to raise concerns

Outokumpu is committed to fostering a transparent and open culture in which employees feel safe and supported when asking questions or raising concerns about compliance with the Code of Conduct or other misconduct.

Doing the right thing is everyone’s responsibility. All Outokumpu employees are required to report suspected violations of the Code of Conduct or any other misconduct. Non-compliance can erode the trust we have built with our stakeholders – customers and other business partners, shareholders and employees – and may put both individuals and our business at risk. Prompt reporting helps us address issues quickly and take measures to prevent them from recurring.

Employees can report suspected misconduct through the following channels:

  • Your immediate manager or your manager’s manager;
  • Company management;
  • Legal and Compliance, HR, or Internal Audit; or
  • If confidentiality or the nature of the matter makes these options unsuitable, you can use the SpeakUp channel, which provides a confidential way to raise concerns.

SpeakUp is a secure communication channel, hosted by an independent third party, that allows employees and external stakeholders to report alleged misconduct confidentially and, when permitted by local laws and regulations, anonymously.

We do not tolerate retaliation

Outokumpu has a strict non-retaliation policy. We will not tolerate any negative consequences for a person who raises a concern in good faith or supports in an investigation to resolve suspected misconduct.

We address concerns with due care

All reports of alleged breaches of the Code of Conduct or other misconduct will be carefully assessed and, as necessary, investigated. Information received is treated with strict confidentiality in accordance with the established internal investigations process. Employees are expected to fully co-operate with investigations as requested by the company.

Proven violations of the Code of Conduct or other forms of misconduct will result in remedial actions appropriate to the severity of the violation. These actions may include corrective, preventative, and disciplinary actions. Any measures will be applied fairly, consistently, and in accordance with company policies and applicable laws and regulations.
