How to Report
All whistleblowing reports must be submitted via our confidential email address. Reports may be made with your identity or anonymously.
Confidential Reporting Email
Send your report directly to VibroPower. Emails marked as whistleblowing reports are treated with strict confidentiality and forwarded only to authorised committee members.
info@vibropower.comInformation to Include
To help us investigate effectively, please provide as much detail as possible in your email: nature of the concern, individuals involved, dates and locations, supporting evidence, and any witnesses. Even if some information is unavailable, please still submit your report. Please use the subject line "Whistleblowing Report — Confidential".
What Happens Next
All reports received are handled according to a rigorous, confidential process:
- Acknowledgement: Where contact details are provided, receipt of your report will be acknowledged within 5 working days.
- Assessment: The Audit Committee will assess the nature and credibility of the concern and determine appropriate next steps.
- Investigation: If warranted, an independent and impartial investigation will be conducted. External investigators may be appointed for serious matters.
- Confidentiality: Your identity and the details of your report will be kept strictly confidential and disclosed only on a need‑to‑know basis.
- Outcome: Where appropriate, you will be informed of the outcome of the investigation, subject to legal and privacy constraints.
- Remedial Action: Substantiated concerns will result in appropriate corrective, disciplinary or legal action.
Protection from Retaliation
VibroPower is committed to protecting whistleblowers who report concerns in good faith:
- No employee will suffer dismissal, demotion, suspension, harassment or any form of adverse treatment as a result of raising a genuine concern.
- Business partners, suppliers or contractors will not have their commercial relationship terminated as a result of reporting in good faith.
- Any act of retaliation will itself be treated as serious misconduct and dealt with accordingly.
- Whistleblowers who report anonymously enjoy the same protections as those who identify themselves.
Important Note
Malicious, frivolous or knowingly false reports may result in disciplinary action. This policy protects those who report in good faith, even if the concern is later found to be unsubstantiated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remain anonymous?
Yes. You may submit your report from an anonymous email account without disclosing your identity. However, providing contact details allows us to seek clarification and share updates on our investigation.
Will my report be kept confidential?
Absolutely. All reports are handled with the strictest confidentiality. Your identity will only be disclosed on a need‑to‑know basis for the purposes of investigation, and only where required by law.
What if I am mistaken about the concern I report?
Provided you report in good faith, you will not face any adverse consequences — even if the concern is later found to be unsubstantiated. Genuine concerns are always welcomed and taken seriously.
Can external parties (suppliers, customers) also report?
Yes. This policy applies to all stakeholders including employees, contractors, business partners, customers, suppliers, and members of the public.
Who oversees the whistleblowing process?
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has independent oversight of all whistleblowing reports, ensuring impartial handling of every concern raised.
