- Responsible information management: we protect confidential information and use systems appropriately.
- Responsible sourcing: we require our suppliers to adhere to the same ethical principles.

Commitment to Preventing Trafficking in Persons
Rauma Marine Constructions Oy is fully committed to meeting all legal obligations related to preventing trafficking in persons. We apply a strict zero-tolerance policy and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. Government requirements when relevant.
Our company has an internal instruction that outlines our approach, responsibilities, training, supplier requirements, reporting channels, and the consequences of violations.
You can read the full instruction here.
We use a Whistleblowing Channel as a tool to maintain ethical principles and trust.
What is it?
Through our dedicated Whistleblowing Channel, a suspicion of an illegal or unethical act, a violation of company laws or other potential types of misconduct may be reported confidentially.
Why is it needed?
The Whistleblowing Channel is a tool for maintaining ethical principles and trust.
We expect every member of our staff to follow our ethical principles and the laws that govern our organisation in their daily work. If an employee or a person otherwise in contact with our organisation suspects there to be an ethical or law-related violation occuring, they can report it through the Whistleblowing Channel.
What it consists of?
Both our employees and anyone associated with our organisation can use our dedicated Whistleblowing Channel to report anonymously, for example, the following kinds of violations or suspicions of wrongdoing:
- Bribery, corruption and money laundering
- The ‘grey’ economy
- Unlawful conduct or unfair competition
- Violation of environmental and occupational safety legislation
- Violation of applicable data protection laws
- Violation of product, food and pharmaceutical safety legislation
- Interference with the right of workers to organise
- Unilateral weakening of work tasks
- Violations of other laws or our ethical principles.
Reports must be made in good faith. The channel is not meant for giving customer or supplier feedback dealing with invoicing or terms of contract, for example, and these types of feedback will not be investigated. Deliberate false reports are prohibited and may result in legal action being initiated.
Who is it for?
This Whistleblowing Channel is designed for both our employees and all stakeholders of our organisation.
How?
Anyone can report anonymously through the Whistleblowing Channel. The channel is provided by an external service provider to ensure its confidentiality. The system is both encrypted, and password protected.
After submitting the notification, the whistleblower will receive an anonymous username and password with which they can log in to the service and communicate with whistleblowing notification handlers.
The notices sent via the service are only readable by the specified persons. All notifications will be treated confidentially.
