If any employee has reason to believe that he or she is the victim of any form of discrimination or
harassment, he or she should follow the steps below:
Inform the offending person(s) that their behaviour is offensive and/or insulting and request them to stop
immediately.
If any person feels uncomfortable confronting the perpetrator of the offensive/insulting behaviour for any
reason, they should instead report the situation to their supervisor who will take the appropriate action by
reporting the incident to a Senior Manager. On receiving any report of discrimination or harassment,
Senior Managers are to report the circumstances and details of the case to the Vice President Human
Resources.
If the complaint of discrimination or harassment is against a Supervisor or Manager, or if any individual is
uncomfortable discussing the complaint with a Supervisor or Manager, all employees have the right to
report any complaint of discrimination or harassment to the Affiliate Human Resources Manager, a
Senior Manager and/or the Vice President Human Resources at any time.
All complaints of discrimination and/or harassment will be dealt with by BOURBON in a timely manner
and all related details will remain highly confidential.
Following investigation, any person found guilty of discrimination or harassment against any fellow
employee will be disciplined by BOURBON. Such disciplinary action may include any measure from
reprimand to termination of employment.
Under no circumstances shall any form of retaliation be accepted against any employee who in good faith
makes any complaint against any other person or persons regarding discrimination or harassment.
