An individual who reports or discloses to the public information about a violation of the law obtained in a work-related context, including an individual who is employed by the Company under an employment or civil contract or who cooperates with the Company, regardless of their position, role, or the type of employment or cooperation with the Company.

Legal protection for individuals who report irregularities within the Company. The Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers of 14 June 2024 (Journal of Laws of 2024, item 928) protects you from retaliation, i.e. against, among others:

• Unjustified termination of the employment relationship
• Refusing to extend the employment relationship or blocking employment opportunities with other employers
• Sabotaging your career path

You are protected provided that you have reasonable grounds to believe that the information that is the subject of the report is true at the time of the report and that it constitutes information about a violation of the law..

You can report various breaches or irregularities, e.g. regarding: corruption, product safety, transport, food and feed, privacy and personal data protection, network security, environmental protection, animal health and welfare, consumer protection.
