• If you have suggestions on how to address the issue

Confidentiality

All reports will be handled with discretion and confidentiality. The identity of the reporter will not be disclosed without the reporter's explicit permission.

We respect the privacy of all parties involved, while ensuring that we can properly investigate and address the reported issues. However, in certain cases, we may need to share some information to conduct a thorough investigation or to comply with legal requirements.

Report Handling Process

1. Receipt of Report: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 24 hours.
2. Initial Assessment: The Code of Conduct Committee will review the report to determine immediate next steps.
3. Investigation: We will gather information from all relevant parties, including witnesses if applicable.
4. Decision: Based on our findings, we will decide on appropriate consequences or actions.
5. Communication: We will inform the reporter about our decision and actions taken.
6. Follow-up: We will ensure that any required actions are implemented and will follow up as needed.

The Code of Conduct Committee consists of the following individuals:
