6.1 Complying with Insula’s code of conduct
Insula's employees and board members are personally responsible for complying with the requirements that are stipulated in Insula's ethical guidelines. Employees and board members shall not act, or encourage others to act, in contravention of the code of conduct. This requirement applies even if the breach of a principle can appear to be in Insula's interest.

Where doubt arises about the interpretation of the principles in this document, the issue shall as far as possible be discussed with one's immediate supervisor before a decision is made. Uncertainty that cannot be clarified locally shall be reported to the group's management group for clarification.

National laws that entail information obligations must be followed and respected.

6.2 Duty to report guideline breaches
Insula wishes to have an open and welcoming culture in which it is safe to discuss ethical dilemmas and to report any breach of the group's code of conduct.

Employee's and board members who observe a breach of the guidelines have a duty to notify their immediate supervisor. On occasions where it is unsuitable or difficult to notify one's immediate supervisor, one can notify a manager of the next level in line. Notification can be made in writing or verbal. Written notifications can be made via the whistleblower system, including anonymous notifications. Verbal notification is made per telephone or directly.

All employees are asked to immediately report all forms of misconduct and questionable behavior.The person who receives the notification must treat the matter strictly confidentially to protect the employee, follow up and investigate the allegations thoroughly. Objectionable circumstances must be handled as soon as possible.

6.3 Sanctions in the event of a breach
A breach of Insula's ethical guidelines can have major negative consequences for Insula, and breaches will therefore be followed up. Serious breaches can lead to termination of employment, summary dismissal and, if relevant, criminal prosecution.

By breach is meant both a breach of the guidelines committed by an employee him or herself, urging or aiding and abetting another individual's breach of the guidelines, failure to provide notification of a breach of the guidelines of which one was obviously aware, lack of assistance in investigating reported guidelines breaches, as well as acts of revenge against employees who have reported a breach of the guidelines.

These ethical guidelines must be signed by employees and board members, or alternatively clearly stated as part of the employment agreement or onboarding.
