The Group is committed to transparent and honest business, and recognises that robust policies and procedures are necessary to minimise risk to the business. As well as making its whistle-blowing policy available on its website, in the UK staff noticeboards contain details of the division’s whistle-bowing policy.
Staff can report any issues locally or via an independent third party. Menzies Aviation has similar policies in place for its operations in the rest of the world. All reports are taken seriously and will be treated fairly and justly by John Menzies plc, and all reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that no person who raises a genuine concern will be at risk of suffering any form of retaliation as a result. As well as working within the Group’s Corporate Governance manual, Menzies Aviation has also made a divisionally focused version available on its intranet, containing details of the Ethics and Gifts & Hospitality policies. ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ cards are available to all managers on the division’s intranet detailing what they should or should not do in regard to anti-competitive practices.
