Corporate Governance

Ombudsman

Coca-Cola Enterprises strives to create a work environment that ensures everyone is treated with dignity, respect, honesty and fairness. The company believes in putting people first and in resolving issues and concerns at the earliest possible stage. The Ombuds Office was created as an alternate channel of communication for employees to discuss or seek guidance about workplace concerns.

The Ombuds office has specially trained neutral professionals who are designated to help employees with work-related issues. These skilled conflict resolution specialists are available to all employees of Coca-Cola Enterprises. Ombuds are confidential, neutral and independent. They help employees in many ways, including listening, coaching and acting as a go-between should a workplace dispute arise. The primary goal of this professional is to enhance the employee's ability to deal effectively with the situation and seek timely, fair and equitable resolution. No formal written records ensure confidentiality and Ombuds report directly to the Chief Executive Officer so employees can raise issues without fear of workplace retaliation.
