Integrity is an integral part of the core values of ACEN. It means doing the right thing under any circumstance and being accountable for one’s own actions. ACEN adheres to the principle of transparency as a tool in its pursuit of integrity.

In line with this, ACEN adopted this Whistleblower Policy to empower directors, officers, and employees, and all suppliers, business partners, contractors, subcontractors and other third parties to report, without fear of retaliation, any illegal act, wrongdoing, malpractice, risk to the Corporation, or any violation of the Corporation’s policies.

This Policy provides a formal mechanism and an avenue for directors, officers, employees, suppliers, business partners, contractors and sub-contractors and other third parties to disclose, report, provide information or raise a concern as to any illegal act, wrongdoing, malpractice, risk to the Corporation, or any violation company policy. This Policy provides assurance that any person making such a report shall be protected from retaliation, reprisals, harassment or disciplinary action or victimization for whistleblowing, and assurance that the identity of the Whistleblower shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure to the extent allowed by law or regulation.
