What It Means
Goodman Fielder is committed to the highest standards of professional and ethical behaviour in conducting business.
Goodman Fielder’s Whistleblower Policy is an essential ingredient in our corporate governance and risk management framework. It promotes a culture of honesty and integrity in business dealings and creates a safe and supportive environment for individuals to report genuine concerns about potential, suspected or actual misconduct. This Policy explains how Whistleblowers may report their concerns and the protections they will receive by doing so.
Goodman Fielder encourages the reporting of concerns, including instances of suspected or actual misconduct. Such misconduct may involve unethical, corrupt, illegal, undesirable or fraudulent behaviour and activities. It may also include any actual or potential breach of the Goodman Fielder Workplace Behaviour Policy. Goodman Fielder will not tolerate such behaviours, which can lead to financial and non-financial losses, damage the company’s reputation and undermine its culture and values.
Goodman Fielder is committed to ensuring confidentiality in respect of all matters raised under this Policy and in ensuring that any individual reporting a matter is protected and treated fairly. If an individual suspects that actual or potential misconduct has occurred or is occurring, they can be confident that their disclosure will be acted upon timely and dealt with appropriately. They can also be confident that they will not be subject to any disadvantage, retribution or victimisation for raising their concerns.
