What is the Compliance and Ethics Hotline?
The Compliance and Ethics Hotline is a comprehensive and confidential
reporting tool to assist The Boots Group employees to report concerns or seek guidance regarding
the Code of Conduct or our other corporate policies or applicable laws.
What type of situations should I report?
You should report suspected violations of the law, The Boots Group Code of
Conduct and Ethics, or internal policies or procedures. If that issue is within one of the
reportable topic areas applicable in your country, then you may use the NAVEX EthicsPoint
system. If your concern pertains to a matter that may not be accepted by The Boots Group through
the NAVEX EthicsPoint system, you will need to contact your supervisor or local management or a
representative of the Human Resources, Legal, or Corporate Compliance Departments to report the
matter.
Where do these reports go? Who can access them?
Reports are entered directly to a NAVEX secure server to maintain the
confidentiality of reports. As per our agreement with NAVEX, it makes these reports available
only to specific individuals within the company who are charged with evaluating the report,
based on the type of violation and location of the incident. Each of these report recipients has
had training in keeping these reports in the utmost confidence and handling these reports in
compliance with applicable law. With some exceptions, the subject of the report may receive
information concerning the report (with the exception of the identity of the reporter) and
request correction of personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete in accordance with
applicable law. Your identity will not be disclosed to the subject of the report, however.
Similarly, with some exceptions, reporters may also access information about the report and
request corrections of their personal data in accordance with applicable law.
