Whistleblowing at Speeki
Hear All Voices: Speeki uses its own software to support speaking up
Speeki uses its own platform as part of our internal ESG efforts. A significant aspect of this is to support anyone 'speaking up' and informing us about the good and the bad at Speeki. We encourage everyone to speak up at any time. We listen, we act, and we focus on improvement.
We call our whistleblowing programme 'Hear All Voices,' and it's an essential part of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives at Speeki. It is one of the risk areas within the Speeki ESG model that deserves its own place on our website and is an integral part of our Code of Conduct.
Below you will find all that you need to know about speaking up at Speeki and our 'Hear All Voices' whistleblower initiatives. If you are a future client of Speeki and want to see how we implement 'best practice', feel free to look below to see how we operate at Speeki.
Hear All Voices is built on our three-stage methodology
First, we provide you with the tools to speak up and report issues using the Speeki Platform. The information we receive from these signals is taken seriously, and we act on your reports while keeping you updated along the way. We also combine this information with other data to determine the root cause of any issues and then focus on implementing actions to prevent them in the future.
Reporting issues about Speeki to Speeki is good for you, good for us and good for everyone.
We believe that our Hear All Voices whistleblowing programme helps to unlock the potential of value creation and growth at Speeki. It helps our employees, partners, customers, and investors – not just existing stakeholders but any future ones as well. This is because we not only focus on the issue that is being reported but also look more deeply into the issue, studying it with other data to draw root cause conclusions (we call these 'Insights') and then go about applying actions to address it once and for all. Reporting up is good for everyone.
Good for our employees
The more we learn about issues in the workplace and our employees’ views on how we are doing, the better we can reduce exposure to potential losses and build a workplace that embodies our values, including the ESG values of human rights and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that are so important to us. Addressing issues and constantly making improvements is not only for our current employees but also for every future employee. Like our planet, our workplace is a constantly evolving environment that we need to protect and improve at every opportunity.
Good for our partners
Speeki operates through an ecosystem of selected partners. These companies provide essential support to Speeki, expertise in certain risk areas, and coverage in specific countries. We are focused on protecting those relationships and allowing our partners to share their views on how we are doing through their Hear All Voices initiatives. We are committed to acting on feedback, reports, survey results, assessments, and observations made by our partners.
Good for our customers
If we build a better business, our customers will benefit from a better product and an improved overall experience. Companies that effectively address their ethical and environmental concerns and clearly communicate their ESG policies can enrich the customer experience and build stronger brand loyalty. Reporting issues through our Hear All Voices initiatives helps our customers.
Good for our investors
Our investors have entrusted us with their money as part of a special relationship. They trust that we will use it to grow their investment and provide them with a return. We build this trust based on a set of values, approaches, and our strategy, and as a result, we must live up to our promises. Our promise is to build a robust ESG risk programme, reduce risks for all investors, strengthen partnerships, and minimise the danger of a decrease in shareholder value.
Good for the planet
If we do our part right, and everyone else does the same, the overall collective benefit to the planet must be positive. Companies that fail to play their part in solving this problem – by reducing carbon emissions, improving their workplace and the lives of employees, building sustainable products, and running a compliant business – will face increasing restrictions and may lose their social licence to operate. "Hear All Voices" is an integral part of the solution.
Hearing All Voices helps us live Speeki’s values
We firmly believe that companies with strong ESG values – those that truly practice transparency, honest reporting, integrity, diversity and inclusiveness, and environmental responsibility – not only deliver sustained value but also contribute to building a better world. At Speeki, every company or person in our ecosystem is committing to certain obligations. One of those is speaking up and "Hearing All Voices." It is your duty.
So, how does it work and how do you make a report?
The Hear All Voices programme includes many ways to connect with us. It is really up to you and how you feel.
There are lots of ways to report to Speeki. Use the Speeki App, downloadable from the app store, or you can use any of the ways identified below. It really doesn't matter how you report; it all ends up in the Speeki Platform. Whatever works for you.
The Speeki Platform used by Speeki is located in Europe. Depending on where you are and how you report, your data and the contents of your message will likely cross a few countries before it lands at Speeki. If you are going to report highly sensitive personal information, we recommend you reach out to us first so we can work out the best way to get us that sensitive information.
The most important thing to remember is that, at every single stage of the process and no matter how you want to report, we truly do Hear All Voices. Every report is always confidential, always protects your private information, always shields you from retaliatory conduct, and we always act on what you tell us.
Once an incident report or alert is submitted our investigator – an independent, non-executive director at Speeki – will analyse the details to validate the complaint or alert, then begin the investigation process. The process includes a review of case details and a potential interview with the reporter, if appropriate. Throughout the process, the investigator will use Speeki's Case Management system. When the investigation is concluded, the reporter is informed of the decision taken by the investigator and the actions planned to remediate concerns. If no action is deemed appropriate or necessary, the reporter is still informed.
