How to make a report:

Employees

We strongly encourage you to report to your manager, or alternatively to the next line manager, the HR Manager, the financial controller, the Business Compliance organization or Internal Audit.

In cases of serious violations, where internal reporting is not conceivable, an anonymous report can be made to the whistleblowing service: https://report.whistleb.com/en/alfalaval.

External Stakeholders

People with whom Alfa Laval has a business or community relationship are encouraged to speak up and to report any observed violations of the law or Alfa Laval’s Business Principles.

Normally the first course of action is to report to the Managing Director of the relevant local Alfa Laval Company.  

In cases of serious violations, where the above reporting is not conceivable, an anonymous report can be made to the whistleblowing service: https://report.whistleb.com/en/alfalaval.
