Whistleblowing system

Yaskawa whistleblower system

Whistleblowing is not an easy task – neither for the whistleblower who has to take the courage to report a wrongdoing – nor for the company which must accept that an internal weakness was brought to its attention.

Yaskawa emphasizes integrity and reliability as corporate values. At the same time we strive for continuous improvement of business and services. Whistleblowers are experts in their profession and good observers. Therefore, input through the whistleblower hotline is most welcome.

Yaskawa does not retaliate against whistleblowers because we explicitly invite you to communicate with us. At the same time, we rely on you to validate your report and make sure there is sufficient evidence of offences against law or internal regulations.

A dedicated, independent team consisting of the Yaskawa Chief Compliance Officer, the Group Compliance Officer and the HR Director will deal with your report. If required, we bring in third parties with specialist know-how.  In any case, we safeguard confidentiality and your anonymity if you have chosen to not publish your contact details.

Any message will be answered in a timely manner. In case it is not considered a compliance breach, we reserve the right to direct it to the correct recipient after having informed you.

The whistleblower system is a closed platform which offers multiple communication channels from which you can choose according to your convenience:

An internet platform

An app for mobile devices

A telephone hotline reachable from all  locations where Yaskawa Country Organizations are located

Yaskawa Compliance Team is looking forward to your communication.
