Speak Up Policy

At BruntWork, we are committed to promoting a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability. We believe that every individual has the right to speak and report any concerns about potential wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. This Speak Up Policy outlines our commitment to addressing concerns about misconduct, unethical behavior, or any activity that may violate contractual and professional obligations, while also protecting those who report them.

Every day, we strive to look deeper to find a better way, and make it happen. This has been at the core of our strong commitment to create value for our clients, people, and partners.

To achieve this successfully, we have an equally strong commitment to our core values of See Problems, Solve Problems, Be Inquisitive, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Be Hardworking & Honest. BruntWork’s continued success and reputation depends on how strongly our actions are rooted in our core values and our commitment to ethics. Each of us has an important role to play in meeting this objective.

It means: We ask ourselves every day whether we are doing the right thing, the right way.

What it also means: When you see something, say something. Report all concerns or unethical behavior that come to your attention.

What to Report

You are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions about:

• Violations of contractual obligations.

• Illegal, unethical, or fraudulent activities.

• Misuse of company funds or assets.

No Adverse Impact

BruntWork leadership explicitly commits to ensuring you will not experience any adverse impact as a result of surfacing unethical behaviour through this channel. You may also wish to outline your specific concerns why you are using this channel in confidence, so that we can take any required action to avoid adverse consequences you may experience.

Our Commitment to Confidentiality

• All reports will be treated with strict confidentiality.

• Information will only be shared on a need-to-know basis with individuals responsible for addressing the issue.

Why Speaking Up Matters

Speaking up is essential to creating and maintaining a workplace built on integrity and respect. Every contractor has a responsibility to report concerns—doing so allows us to address problems before they escalate and protects everyone involved, including individuals, the company, and our clients. 

By speaking up, you help ensure we stay true to our values of integrity, transparency, and accountability. It’s not just about following the rules; it’s about building a culture where we all feel safe, respected, and proud of the work we do.
