    Reporting channels

    We encourage you to report concerns via Fluxys’ internal reporting channels:

    • either the various informal reporting channels; or
    • the internal whistleblowing channel mentioned in our whistleblowing policy.

    An internal reporting allows us to investigate the concern promptly and to take immediate action.

    In some cases, you can also report your concerns externally to competent authorities, provided that the matter you want to report relates to a type of violation that is specifically mentioned in the abovementioned local legislation.
