Transparent communication

We are transparent and provide multiple ways for colleagues to share ideas and report concerns, including an anonymous whistleblowing hotline, Speak Up, which is managed by a third party and every report, investigated.

We provide anonymous access to Alan Hirzel, our CEO, through our ‘Ask Alan’ channel where he or one of his leadership team, can respond openly to questions on Yammer for all our employees to see.

Our staff forums are there to discuss and escalate ideas and challenges to senior leaders and relevant groups and as such, these forums can directly influence how we do things at Abcam.

Bribery and corruption

We ensure a zero tolerance of bribery and corruption anywhere in our value chain. We audit suppliers and run annual, audited training for all employees, and this is also included as part of the induction training.

Cybersecurity

Our primary objective continues to be the protection of Abcam’s data, that of our employees and the system infrastructure we use. In the past two and half years, cybersecurity at Abcam has been significantly improved through efforts led by our security team, with the support and participation of employees through regular and innovative communication and engagement. Our ongoing program of work will continue delivering controls that reduce our risk overhead and improve our security posture with a strong emphasis on meeting new regulatory requirements in specific geographical regions.
