Whistleblowing

At Konecranes, we do business in a direct, clear, and ethical manner and promote a healthy corporate speak-up culture where people can feel safe reporting compliance and ethical concerns. Whistleblowing can help alerting us to serious risks affecting individuals, our company, the society or the environment.

As first instance, it is recommended to contact one’s manager if employed by Konecranes group, or to contact your contact person within Konecranes group, if you are an external stakeholder.

It is also possible to report the matter through our group Whistleblowing Channel which enables anonymous reporting when allowed by local laws. You do not need to have firm evidence of the wrongdoing before reporting it but reports must be submitted honestly and in good faith.
