Crédit Agricole next bank (Suisse) SA is stepping up its efforts to detect and prevent unethical, illegal and criminal practices. These efforts are based on dedicated governance and are reflected in the governing bodies’ commitment to a zero-tolerance policy.
To this end, a platform has been set up to enable customers, employees of the company, external collaborators and suppliers to exercise their right of whistleblowing.
This right must be exercised in a disinterested manner and in good faith.
The BKMS® SYSTEMS platform safeguards the confidentiality of the whistleblower, the facts and the persons concerned. The information included is encrypted and stored in a separate, secure environment. This system makes it possible to set out the facts and to communicate with the person in charge of dealing with the warning (via a secured postbox) while protecting the identity of the whistleblower.
The platform is accessible anywhere and at any time via the following link: https://www.bkms-system.com/bkwebanon/report/clientInfo?cin=3CAgr18&language=eng
