Modern Slavery 現代奴隸制

Modern slavery can take many forms; it is a complex and multi-faceted problem including, but not limited to:
現代奴隸制有多種形式,是一個複雜且牽涉面甚廣的問題,其包括但不限於:

(1) Slavery: where ownership is exercised over an individual.
奴隸制:對個人行使所有權

(2) Servitude: involving the obligation to provide service imposed by coercion.
奴隸制:涉及強迫提供服務的義務。

(3) Forced and compulsory labour: all work or service, not voluntarily performed, which is obtained from an individual under the threat of force or penalty.
強迫性勞動:在強迫或懲罰的威脅下,從個人獲得的非自願執行之所有工作或服務。

(4) Human trafficking: involving, arranging or facilitating the travel of another with a view to exploiting them.
人口販賣:涉及、安排或促使以剝削他人為目的之人口運送。

(5) Child labour: whilst not always illegal in the jurisdiction in which it takes places, child labour involves the employment of children that is exploitative or is likely to be hazardous to or interfere with a child’s education, health (including mental health), physical wellbeing or social development.
童工:儘管童工在發生所在地並非都違法,但雇用童工涉及對兒童的剝削,或可能危害或干擾兒童之教育、健康(包括心理健康)、人身安全與福祉或社會發展。

All forms of modern slavery have in common, the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for commercial or personal gain and amount to a violation of an individual’s fundamental human rights.
現代奴隸制的所有形式都有一個共同點,亦即剝奪他人的自由來謀取商業或個人利益,並侵犯個人基本人權。

Tackling modern slavery requires colleagues to play a part and remain vigilant to the risk in all aspects of Sealy International’s business.

To underpin the commitments laid out in this policy, Sealy International aims to implement the following measures:
Sealy International 意圖實施下列措施,以支持本政策中列出的承諾:

• The Company will conduct risk assessments to determine which parts of the business and which supply chains are most at risk from modern slavery so efforts can be focused on the areas that are most ‘at risk’.
本公司將進行風險評估,確認哪些業務與供應鏈環節的現代奴隸制風險最大,以便將精力聚集在最具風險的區域。

• Where appropriate, as informed by the risk assessment, the Company will engage directly with new suppliers in respect of the Anti-Slavery Policy in order to gain a proper understanding of the measures they have in place to ensure that modern slavery is not occurring within their own businesses.
在適當的情況下,根據風險評估的資訊,本公司將與新供應商就反奴隸制政策直接溝通,以適當了解供應商為確保杜絕業務中的現代奴隸制所採取的措施。

• Contractual documentation will incorporate specific prohibition against slavery or servitude, the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, and the use of child labour in line with this policy.
合約文件將明文禁止奴隸或奴役、使用強迫、強制或販賣勞工及使用童工。

• The Company’s contracted suppliers will be encouraged to hold their own suppliers to the same standards. The Company will reserve the right to terminate any contractual arrangement if there is breach of this policy.

SEALY WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY / 檢舉人政策

SEALY WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

 

  1. Purpose

 

International laws create schemes protecting certain types of persons making qualifying disclosures (“Whistleblower Protection Scheme”).

 

This Whistleblower Policy sets out when disclosures may qualify for protection under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme.

 

  1. Key Principles

 

Sealy International (“Sealy”) is committed to the protection of people who disclose information about illegal or improper conduct, where all Disclosing Persons feel comfortable raising matters that are of legitimate concern.

 

Sealy recognises that a whistleblower program is an important element in deterring corrupt, illegal or other undesirable conduct.

 

  1. Applicability

 

This Whistleblower Policy is applicable to Sealy in all locations where it operates and must be considered in conjunction with any legislation specific to the state or country of operation relative to a specific disclosure.

 

  1. Definitions

 

In this policy:

 

Detriment’ includes without limitation:

 

(a)     dismissal of an employee;

(b)     injury of an employee in his or her employment;

(c)      alteration of an employee’s position or duties to his or her disadvantage;

(d)      discrimination between an employee and other employees;

(e)      harassment or intimidation of a person;

(f)       harm or injury to a person, including psychological harm;

(g)     damage to a person’s property, reputation, business or financial position; or

(h)     any other damage to a person.

 

Qualifying Disclosure’ means a disclosure qualifying under applicable laws, as summarised in paragraph 5.1 of this Whistleblower Policy.

 

 

  1. Requirements for a Qualifying Disclosure

 

Qualifying Disclosures:

 

5.1     A Qualifying Disclosure under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme is when a Disclosing Person makes a disclosure to an Eligible Recipient (or an external disclosure) and the Disclosing Person has reasonable grounds to suspect that the information concerns a Disclosable Matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disclosing Person:

 

5.2    A Disclosing Person is any current or former:

 

  • officer (including a Director) or employee of Sealy;

 

  • individual who supplied goods or services to Sealy;

 

  • employee of a person that supplies goods or services to Sealy;

 

  • individual who is an associate of Sealy; and

 

  • any individual who is a relative, spouse or dependant (or the dependant of a spouse) of any of the above persons.

 

Who is an Eligible Recipient?

 

5.3    An Eligible Recipient is:

 

  • any person authorised by Sealy to receive disclosures that may qualify for protection under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme; or

 

  • any auditor (internal or external), or actuary of Sealy; or

 

  • a Director or senior manager of any Sealy entity.

 

What is a Disclosable Matter?

 

5.4    A “Disclosable Matter” under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme is information          that:

 

(a)       concerns misconduct or an improper state of affairs or circumstances in relation to Sealy; or

 

(b)       indicates that Sealy or any of its Directors, officers or employees have engaged in conduct that:

 

(i)      constitutes an offence against any laws of any country; or

 

(ii)     represents a danger to the public or the financial system.

 

Examples of what may be a Disclosable Matter include a breach of any legal or regulatory requirement or any Sealy Policy, including, for example:

 

  • fraud;

 

  • negligence;

 

  • criminal offences;

 

  • failure to comply with any legal obligation;

 

  • unfair or unethical dealing with a customer, supplier or agent of Sealy;

 

  • corrupt or unethical conduct;

 

  • human rights abuses;

 

  • risk to the health or safety of any person; or

 

  • any deliberate concealment relating to any of the above.

 

5.5    Disclosures that concern personal work-related grievances do not qualify for protection under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme.

 

5.6    A disclosure will concern a personal work-related grievance of the discloser if the information:

 

  • concerns a grievance about any matter in relation to the discloser’s employment, or former employment, having or tending to have implications for the discloser personally; and

 

  • does not have significant implications for Sealy; and

 

  • does not concern conduct that:

 

  • is an offence against another laws of any country; or

 

  • represents a danger to the public or financial system.

 

 

5.7    Examples of disclosures regarding personal work-related grievances that may not           qualify for protection include:

 

  • an interpersonal conflict between the discloser and another employee;

 

  • a decision relating to the engagement, transfer or promotion of the discloser;

 

 

  • a decision relating to the terms and conditions of engagement of the discloser; or

 

(d)       a decision to suspend or terminate the engagement of the discloser, or      otherwise discipline the discloser.

 

5.8    A disclosure could qualify for protection if it concerns a personal work-related grievance but also concerns alleged Detriment caused to the discloser (or a threat of Detriment).

 

5.9    Disclosures about personal-work related grievances that do not qualify for protection under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme will generally be dealt with under Sealy’s Fairness Policy and not as Disclosable Matters.

 

 

Making a Disclosure

 

5.10 Whilst disclosures can be made to any Eligible Recipient, to enable the efficient investigation of the Disclosable Matter, Sealy encourages Disclosing Persons who have reasonable grounds to suspect a Disclosable Matter to make a disclosure by submitting a written report marked “Confidential” to Sealy’s Managing Director and/or General Counsel (who are authorised to receive such disclosures) as follows:

 

The Managing Director

Sealy International

1299 Boundary Road,

Wacol QLD 4076

Australia

Email: privacy@sealy.com.au

The General Counsel

Sealy International

1299 Boundary Road,

Wacol Qld 4076

Australia

Email: privacy@sealy.com.au

 

 

5.11 It is preferred that Disclosing Persons identify themselves when making a disclosure, as this greatly assists the investigation process. However, Disclosing Persons may choose to make their disclosure anonymously. In these circumstances the protections under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme still apply. Ideally, the Disclosing Person should provide sufficient information to allow the matter to be properly investigated and Sealy encourages the Disclosing Person to provide an anonymous email address (if possible) through which additional questions can be asked and information provided.

 

External Disclosures

 

5.12 Nothing in this Whistleblower Policy restricts the ability of a Disclosing Person to make a disclosure directly to a government agency, authority, or a legal practitioner for the purpose of obtaining legal advice or legal representation (in relation to the Whistleblower Protection Scheme). In certain specific circumstances, disclosures may also be made to journalists and elected representatives and Sealy recommends Disclosing Persons obtain independent legal advice in this regard. These disclosures also qualify for protection under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme.

 

 

Investigation of a Disclosable Matter

 

5.13 Upon receipt of a Qualifying Disclosure, an Eligible Recipient is responsible for ensuring that the matter is investigated as appropriate. This includes:

 

  • deciding on the need for an investigation;

 

  • appointing an investigation officer; and

 

(c)       receiving timely updates as to the progress and completion of investigations.

 

5.14   An investigation will generally involve making inquiries and collecting evidence for the purpose of assessing whether the Qualifying Disclosure can be substantiated.

 

5.15 Sealy employees about whom disclosures are made will generally be given an opportunity to respond to the relevant allegations made in the Qualifying Disclosure.

 

 

  1. Protections

 

Immunities

 

6.1    A Disclosing Person will not be subject to criminal, civil or administrative liability (including disciplinary action) by Sealy for making a Qualifying Disclosure.

 

6.2    No contractual or other remedy or right may be enforced or exercised against the Disclosing Person on the basis of the Qualifying Disclosure.

 

6.3    Disclosing Persons who make some types of Qualifying Disclosures are also provided immunities to ensure that information they disclose is not admissible in evidence against them in criminal proceedings or in proceedings for the imposition of a penalty, other than proceedings in respect of the falsity of the information.

 

6.4    Except as provided for by 6.3, the fact that someone has made a Qualifying Disclosure does not prevent them from being subject to any civil, criminal or administrative liability for conduct of the person revealed by the disclosure.

 

Confidentiality

 

6.5    Under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme, Disclosing Persons making a Qualifying Disclosure are protected by the requirement that their identity and information that may lead to their identification, must be kept confidential, subject to relevant exceptions outlined below.

 

6.6    Exceptions to this are disclosures to a government agency, authority, or a legal practitioner for the purpose of obtaining advice about the application of the Whistleblower Protection Scheme or made with the consent of the eligible whistleblower.

 

6.7    The Disclosing Person’s identity and information which is likely to lead to the identification of the discloser can also be provided to any a government agency or authority for the purpose of assisting the authority in the performance of its functions or duties. This includes, but is not limited to, the police or authorities in a relevant location.

 

6.8    It is also permissible to disclose information which could lead to the identification of the discloser if the disclosure is reasonably necessary for the purpose of investigating the matter, if all reasonable steps are taken to reduce the risk that the discloser will be identified as a result of the information being disclosed.

 

6.9    Breach of these confidentiality protections regarding the discloser’s identity and information likely to lead to the identification of the discloser is a criminal offence and may be the subject of criminal, civil and disciplinary proceedings.

 

6.10 All Eligible Recipients must ensure that all information disclosed under this Policy is kept secure.

 

Prevention of Detriment

 

6.11 Disclosing Persons are protected under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme from victimisation and suffering any Detriment by reason of the Qualifying Disclosure. It is unlawful for a person to engage in conduct against another person that causes, or will cause Detriment in circumstances where the person believes or suspects that the other person or any other person made, may have made, proposes to make or could make a Qualifying Disclosure, including making threats of Detriment.

 

6.12 Employees of Sealy found to have engaged in detrimental conduct on this basis will be subject to disciplinary action. Any person that engages in detrimental conduct may also be subject to civil and criminal liability (including imprisonment) under the Whistleblower Protection Scheme.

 

6.13 Where appropriate, Sealy will take all action deemed appropriate to safeguard the interests of the Disclosing Person and to ensure they are protected from Detriment for making a Qualifying Disclosure.

 

6.14 If any person becomes aware of detrimental conduct occurring, they should report this to Sealy’s Managing Director and/or Sealy’s General Counsel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Roles and Responsibilities

 

Disclosure

 

7.1    If a Disclosing Person becomes concerned about possible illegal, unethical or otherwise improper conduct that they think is not being properly handled within Sealy, it is critical that they take steps to advise Sealy through this Whistleblower Policy.

 

7.2    Sealy will take all reasonable steps to investigate disclosures and communicate its findings to a discloser.

 

Reporting and Training Obligations

 

7.3    In addition to the obligations outlined elsewhere in this Whistleblower Policy, the General Counsel must report to the Sealy Board of Directors on at least an annual basis, and otherwise as necessary in relation to all material Whistleblowing matters.

 

 

7.4    Sealy will provide training and updates on a regular basis to ensure that all relevant personnel’s knowledge in relation to Whistleblower related laws and regulations remains current.

 

Interpretation of this Policy

 

7.5    Any questions in relation to the interpretation of this Whistleblower Policy should be forwarded to Sealy’s General Counsel.

This is a summary guide to Sealy’s Whistleblower Policy and how to report issues of concern.

 

  • Investigations:

 

Under Sealy’s Whistleblower Policy:

  • Reporting Your Concerns:

  1. Formally Reporting Serious Issues:

Sealy’s Whistleblower Policy allows you to confidentially report issues involving serious misconduct (e.g., fraud, dishonesty, unethical or illegal behaviour) without fear of being victimised.

 

Reporting serious issues can be done by submitting a written report marked “Confidential” to:

5.11在進行舉報時,舉報人最好表明自己的身份,這在很大程度上可促進實施調查。但是,舉報人也可選擇匿名舉報。在這種情況下,“檢舉人保護計劃”下的保護依然適用。舉報人最好能提供足夠的信息,以便充分調查該事項,同時,席伊麗鼓勵舉報人提供匿名電子郵件地址(如有可能),以便席伊麗通過該電子郵件詢問其它問題並得到舉報人的相應答复。

 

 

 

 

外部舉報

 

5.12本檢舉人政策中的任何內容不會限制舉報人為了獲得相應的法律意見或者法律聲明(與“檢舉人保護計劃”有關)而直接向政府機構、當局或職業律師進行舉報的能力。在某些特定情況下,也可以向新聞記者以及民意代表進行舉報,同時,席伊麗建議舉報人就這方面徵求獨立的法律意見。這些舉報也適用“檢舉人保護計劃”的保護。

 

 

可舉報事項的調查

 

5.13收到合規舉報後,合格接收人負責確保對該舉報事項進行合適的調查,具體包括:

 

(a)決定是否需要進行調查;

 

(b)任命調查專員;以及

 

(c)在進行調查的過程中及完成調查後及時接收更新信息。

 

5.14調查通常涉及詢問和證據收集,以評估合規舉報是否得以證實。

 

5.15舉報涉及的席伊麗員工通常會有一次機會來對合規舉報中提出的相關指控作出回應。

 

 

  1. 保護

 

豁免

6.2不會因合規舉報而針對舉報人行使對其不利的合同或其它補救或權利。

 

6.3進行合規舉報的舉報人同時享有相關豁免,他們所舉報的信息不會作為針對其進行的刑事訴訟的證據或者處罰的證據,除非涉及到虛假信息。

 

6.4除第6.3條的規定外,進行合規舉報的舉報人不會因為舉報檢舉行為承擔民事、刑事或行政責任。

 

機密性

 

6.5依據檢舉人保護計劃,進行合規舉報的舉報人會得到保護,其身份和可能導致其身份暴露的信息必須保密,但以下列出的相關例外情況除外。

 

6.6為諮詢檢舉人保護計劃的適用性而向政府機構、主管部門或律師進行的舉報或者經合規檢舉人同意身份信息披露而進行的舉報不適用上述身份信息保護。

 

6.7為協助主管部門履行其職能或職責,可能會向政府機構或主管部門提供舉報人的身份以及可能導致其身份暴露的信息。其中包括但不限於相關地區的警方或主管部門。

 

6.8允許因調查的合理需要而披露有關可能導致舉報人身份暴露的信息,但必須採取所有合理措施降低因信息舉報導致舉報人身份暴露的風險。

6.10所有合格接收人必須對依據本政策舉報的信息進行保密。

 

損害預防

 

6.11檢舉人保護計劃保護舉報人不會因合規舉報而遭受報復和損害。若某人認為或懷疑其他人進行了或者計劃進行合規舉報,並因此針對該舉報人進行或可能進行損害(包括威脅進行損害),則應視為違法行為。

 

6.12若發現席伊麗員工參與損害行為,則應據此對該人員處以紀律處分。依據檢舉人保護計劃,參與損害行為的人士還可能面臨民事和刑事責任(包括監禁)。

 

6.13若需要,席伊麗將採取所有必要措施保護舉報人的權益,確保他們不會因合規舉報而受到損害。

 

6.14若任何人得知發生損害行為,應向席伊麗常務董事和/或總法律顧問報告。
