Frequently Asked Questions

  1. When should I use the Faurecia Speak Up line?

    2. If you are aware of some behavior you believe violates the Faurecia Codes, it is your responsibility to Speak Up. You can and you should bring any concerns forward to your:

    • Direct manager or other member of your management team,
    • Human Resources Organization, or
    • Compliance Organization.

    However, if there are circumstances where you are not comfortable reporting the issue internally, or if there is a more serious situation like a Law violation, you can use this Faurecia Speak Up Line.

  2. What type of situations should I report through the Faurecia Speak Up Line?

    3. The Faurecia Speak Up Line can be used to report serious violations of the Faurecia Codes or the Law, such as:

    • Corruption
    • Anti-competitive practices
    • Accounting irregularities
    • Breach of confidentiality
    • Conflict of Interest
    • Harassment or discrimination in the workplace
    • Other serious crimes constituting a threat or serious harm to public interest
  3. How does the Faurecia Speak Up Line maintain confidentiality?

    4. By using the Faurecia Speak Up Line, the whistleblower is strongly protected by Legal Confidentiality.

    Confidentiality protects:

    • The identity and any identifying details of the Whistleblower even if he/she agreed to disclose himself / herself and,
    • The identity and any identifying details of the person(s) alleged to be responsible or accomplice of the violation.

    The Legal Confidentiality only protects one person until the Investigation concludes that he/she was responsible for or accomplice of the violation of the Law. However, the Legal Confidentiality cannot be opposed to authority / police investigations.

    Because the protection that is given to Whistleblowers is very strong, in some countries anonymous reports are not favored and can be reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer or the Deputy Chief Compliance Officer (as FAU-C-LSG-2402 Speak Up).
