Your immediate superior usually has the best conditions to handle your case. If for some reason you do not feel comfortable talking to your manager, or if you have submitted a complaint that it has not been taken seriously, you can always contact someone in the corporate management or use it so called whistleblower function located within Karo Pharma.

You then submit your application via the email info@swereco.com

The information you provide will be treated confidentially. Except in the case of law violations, the information will only be disclosed to those persons who must be informed in order to handle the case.
