Whistleblowing Directive | Law 93/2021

Respecting the dignity of all people at the workplace is not just about creating positive conditions, challenging and enriching roles, autonomy and empowerment in everyday life. It is also in the prevention of inappropriate and deviant behaviour, whether it be violations of law and/or regulations, corruption or even deviations from the purpose and values that guide our activity.

Whistleblowing channels can serve as an important breach prevention and risk management tool for organisations and, therefore, the Wellow™ Group is committed to ensuring the protection of individuals who wish to report, internally, a breach or possible irregularity under European Directive 2019/1937.

The Wellow™ Group prohibits retaliation against any person who, on reasonable grounds to believe that a breach or suspected breach exists, reports it and provides information obtained in a professional context.

This Whistleblower Protection Policy applies to the Wellow™ Group, consisting of Wellow Brighter Future, S.A.; Header - Recruitment & Training Lda; Lusotemp - Empresa de Trabalho Temporário, S.A.; Talenter - Trabalho Temporário, S.A.; Knower Projects, S.A.; Knower Properties, S.A.; Talenter Drive, Lda; Futurcabo Telecomunicações, S.A.; Exato - Consultadoria & Mediação de Seguros, Lda and Tailor Made Deal, Lda.

1. What are the issues to report?

Whistleblowers may report information, obtained in a professional context, concerning suspected irregularities or violations - actual or potential - of:

• Laws and regulations applicable to the Wellow™ Group;
• Internal audit and control policies;
• Policies on disclosure of information to customers or suppliers;
• Situations that jeopardise the safety of people and property;
• Situations that jeopardise the smooth running of the organisation;
• Unethical behaviour.

The violation or suspected irregularity must be based on reasonable grounds, i.e. the whistleblower does not need to prove the violation or irregularity, but must be able to substantiate his/her suspicions based on observations, documents, e-mails, reports or photos. A rumour is not a sufficient or reasonable ground for making a complaint.

2. Who can report it?

Anyone who works or has worked for the Wellow™ Group, including temporary and freelance workers, interns, volunteers or candidates in recruitment, service providers, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as persons acting under their supervision and direction, may report information.

3. How can you report it?

Violations or suspected irregularities can be reported through various channels:

In person: in Carnaxide central services, during working hours (9h - 18h).

Via email: by sending written communication to the address corresponding to the corporate brand involved / affected by the complaint to be made
