Principle: We speak up without fear of retaliation when something doesn't feel right.

There may be times when you spot something doesn't seem right – that doesn't follow the Drax Code of Conduct.

In these instances, speak to either:

Alternatively, you can raise it via our external 'Speak Up' service using the details overleaf.

The Group Business Ethics team will be able to review the detail of the report (though not the name of the person who reported it, if they chose to remain anonymous) and will arrange investigation, if required.

We treat all reported issues seriously and follow them up conscientiously, discreetly and without bias. We will also assess whether the matter should be reported to the relevant authorities. We would expect to update you on the outcome where this is appropriate and in line with your anonymity preference.

Group Business Ethics provides support on ethical matters and business conduct. This helps make sure that our decisions match our aim to 'do the right thing, always'.

For more information, search the documents listed below via the Speak Up SharePoint page or PolicyTech.

We recommend that you contact the team for help, support or further information if you feel something's not right.

Drax provides access to an external, confidential service that Safecall manages. Use it to raise concerns when you'd prefer not to speak to someone at Drax in the first instance. The Group Business Ethics team will be able to review the detail of the report (though not the name of the person who reported it, if they chose to remain anonymous) and will arrange investigation, if required.

For help or support, or if you're unhappy with any aspect of the reporting process, speak to a colleague in the Group Business Ethics team.
