The Audit Committee has reviewed ‘whistleblowing’ procedures including the reporting and follow-up of any concerns by employees regarding possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting, other fraud-related matters and bribery. Our Code of Ethics and Behaviours (a copy of which is on our website) outlines the behaviours that M&S expects of its employees and advises them to report any concerns or suspected wrongdoing by the Company, colleagues or others involved with the Company, by reporting it to a manager, calling a confidential employee helpline or reporting it to the Group Secretary, as the Independent Internal Individual.
