To support transparency and ethics, Draslovka has in place the Ethics Hotline, where any suspected misconduct can be reported. The Ethics Hotline is available 24/7 and is designed, in line with the requirements of the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive, to ensure the anonymity of all whistleblowers (employees, customers, business partners, third parties or public) and to protect them from sanctions, discrimination, and other retaliation. The queries can also be submitted through other channels described in our Code of Conduct.
