Whistleblowing
Advisense operates in a heavily regulated industry in which trust and fair business practices are of the utmost importance, both for Advisense and its clients.
We therefore promote a culture where anyone within or outside Advisense feels safe and is encouraged to act and report any wrongdoing related to our operations. This can be done in several ways, for example if you’re an employee you can report to your respective manager or Employee Responsible (“ER”). If the manager/ER is involved in the situation or cannot or has not adequately addressed the concerns, or if you are a reporting person outside of the Advisense Group, you have the possibility to report via our Whistleblowing channels according to the routine described below.
When and how can I report?
If you have suspicions of misconduct or irregularities such as crime, fraud, bribery and illicit benefits or inappropriate behavior, you can always report this. Reports in writing should be made in English and include all the necessary information available regarding the misconduct. As a minimum the report should consist of the following, if possible:
- When: Date, time and location.
- Who: Names of person(s) involved, roles and your relationship with the person(s) involved.
- What: The general nature of your concern, how you became aware of the issue and possible witnesses. Please include other information to support your report.
- Contact information (if the reporting person does not wish to stay anonymous): As all reported information is handled with strict confidentiality, we urge you to provide your contact information so we can confirm received report and follow up in the case.
You can report suspicions to Advisense´s Chief People Officer (“CPO”) via the whistleblowing channels below:
- Email: whistleblow@advisense.com

Reporting to the competent authority
