1. Introduction
THE SYNERGY COLLECTIVE is committed to the highest standard of ethical behaviour and sound corporate governance. The whistle blowing policy (“Policy”) is adopted to ensure that staff members, associates, volunteers and consultants would not suffer any detriment, or be fearful of the risk of reprisal, victimisation or other adverse repercussion, as a consequence of their raising their concerns in good faith.
This Policy complies with the Code of Governance and is intended to provide guidance to those who have concerns about possible irregularities or wrongdoing within THE SYNERGY COLLECTIVE.
2. Objectives
The objectives of this Policy are to:
- deter wrongdoing or improper conduct
- provide avenues for individuals to raise concerns and receive feedback on any action taken
- give assurances of protection against detriment, reprisals, victimisation or other adverse consequences.
3. Incidents
