SpeakUp

There are many ways to make your voice heard, give feedback or ask questions. For many issues, talking directly to the person involved can be a good first step. This is not easy. However, a normal, open dialogue based on mutual respect is always our preference. This forms the basis of a transparent culture, so that you feel safe to express your concerns. We therefore hope that you will feel free to discuss your suspicions with the person concerned.
If this is not possible, or if you feel uncomfortable doing so, you can turn to the following channels:
  1. Talk to your supervisor, or your supervisor's supervisor. If you can't, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that,
  2. speak to your HR business partner or someone in HR at your location. If you can't, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that,
  3. speak to one of the compliance officers. If you can't, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that,
  4. report it (anonymously) via the SpeakUp system.

How can I make a report?

The SpeakUp system is managed by an independent external service provider and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can ask your question in your own language, by phone or via internet. Your report will be passed on in confidence to the central Swinkels Family Brewers reporting centre, which will ensure that the report is dealt with. You may decide to remain anonymous. That's up to you.

We recommend that you write down your message in advance; this way you can be sure of the information you are going to give and that your message is complete and to the point.

Have a pen handy when you leave your message. You will receive a personal six-digit case number, which is randomly generated. It is very important that you write down this number, as you will need it to read the answer to your message when you return to the SpeakUp system.

Phone

When you use the SpeakUp phone system, you don't really get anyone on the line. The system is similar to a voicemail system, where you can leave your message. Make sure you pronounce names and locations clearly, and preferably spell them out. When you're done, just hang up.

Online

If you are using the SpeakUp web system, you can type in your message or just copy/paste it. You can also attach documents to your message. When you are finished, press the 'Send message' button; a screen will appear with your case number and your message, which you can easily print.

Answer

Within five working days you'll have an answer on the SpeakUp system. In general, you can find this answer using the same route you used to leave your message, with the above dial-up details. Note that it is possible to switch from phone to web at a later point, but you can never switch from web to phone.

To listen to your answer, you will be asked to press 1 if you already have a case number. To hear your answer, press 1 and enter your case number. After you hear the answer, you can immediately post a new follow-up message; if you need a little more time to think about it, you can just hang up/logout and come back another time.
