No. Your call to Stopline can, if you wish, be anonymous and the staff of Stopline will not ask for any personal details. You may volunteer the information anonymously to Stopline if you desire or you can be overt. If you do not wish to remain anonymous, this information may be provided to the relevant personnel at Sandfire Resources on a confidential basis, so that your issue may be investigated. If you choose to remain anonymous Stopline will issue a confidential reference and password should you wish to seek the status of your disclosure at some later date.

Maintaining confidentiality is a crucial component of this protection. All disclosures will be treated with a high level of confidentiality. Sandfire Resources has appointed Stopline to enhance confidentiality and anonymity within Sandfire Resources.

Stopline enables employees, contractors and stakeholders to report in good faith, suspected misconduct via telephone, email, internet or mail, to an independent organisation with trained staff who will receive your concerns confidentially (anonymously if you wish) and provide the confidential information to the relevant personnel at Sandfire Resources on a confidential basis, so that your issue may be investigated. The program then necessitates procedural requirements dealing with and finalising the outcome of the disclosure.

You can contact Stopline when you have knowledge of any fraudulent, corrupt, unlawful or unethical conduct, or any behaviour that is inconsistent with the Sandfire Code of Conduct or Values by an employee and/or contractor.

You can telephone Stopline on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any messages left with our overnight team will be responded to within one working day. You can also send your disclosure via the internet (this website), email or mail.

Where a person who makes a disclosure is implicated in the misconduct, Sandfire Resources will use all reasonable efforts to protect the individual from reprisals. Reporting improper conduct may not shield the person from the reasonable consequences flowing from any involvement in serious misconduct.

Full details are available on Sandfire Resources’ intranet site.
