AFL’s whistleblower programme

AFL Group employees, as well as any person with the right to report concerns under applicable laws¹ (former employees, job applicants, shareholders, members of governing bodies, external and temporary employees, co-contractors and subcontractors) may disclose information relating to a crime, offence, threat or harm to the public interest, or a violation of national and international laws and regulations.

The procedures governing the internal whistleblowing system are appended to the internal regulations of Agence France Local. In addition, the Chairman of the Executive Board issues an annual communication to all Group employees to remind employees of the existence of the internal alert system.

Reports are collected using a dedicated independent reporting platform (Whistleblower Software) accessible 24/7. The platform complies with all confidentiality rules; information shared on the platform is encrypted and stored in a secure, independent information system.

The collection and processing of reports is governed by a dedicated procedure. This procedure guarantees that the team responsible for processing alerts has the resources to implement appropriate responses to alerts that are considered admissible.

All reports must be made in good faith and without direct financial compensation. The AFL Group guarantees protection against sanctions, discriminatory measures, or any other form of retaliation against whistleblowers who have made a report in accordance with the forms and conditions prescribed by law.
