Speak Out
If you see something, say something
Newcrest is committed to fostering a culture of trust in an environment that encourages reporting of misconduct and unethical behaviour and providing protection to those who Speak Out.
All current or former employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, community members and third parties who work with us, or on our behalf are encouraged to Speak Out.
What should I Speak Out about?
Any misconduct, anything that may be unethical or illegal, any safety issues
or any serious breaches of our Code of Conduct. We want to know about your concerns and encourage you to Speak Out about:
-
dishonest, fraudulent or corrupt activity;
-
illegal activity;
-
safety issues;
-
unethical behaviour or serious breaches of our policies or standards;
-
conduct or practices that present a real risk of damage or harm to us, our people or third parties;
-
human rights;
-
conduct or practices that may cause financial loss to us or damage our reputation;
-
harassment, sexual harassment or assault, discrimination, victimisation or bullying;
-
a breach of any law which may impact our business operations; or
-
any other kind of serious misconduct or impropriety.
Personal work-related grievances or complaints about your current or former employment which are unlikely to impact Newcrest’s business are better and more effectively managed and reported to your line manager or People Business Partner.
