Integrity Hotline Our Company is committed in fostering a culture of honesty, transparency, and accountability which requires the highest possible standards of professional and ethical conduct from all employees and business partners. To solidify wrongdoing prevention, and unethical and criminal behavior, we want to ensure that anybody with a suspicion about ethical issues relating to our company’s operations can raise a concern (anonymously if desired) without fearing retaliation. To that end, we have established a collaboration with an independent, externally hosted whistleblowing hotline system (EthicsPoint) to make it easier and safer to report a concern.
The EthicsPoint platform exists to receive reports either by telephone or internet. We strive to respond to any misconduct report quickly and confidentially. We are committed to always doing business with the highest ethical standards. In doing so, we aim to be a great place to work, be good corporate citizens, and drive value for our shareholders.
Any concern or suspicion that involves inappropriate, unethical, or illegal behavior, which has a risk to others such as our employees, business partners, the environment, or any matter of public interest. This could include any matters such as:
corruption
bribery
conflicts of interests
fraud
harassment and discrimination
occupational health and safety
environmental pollution
anti-competitive practices
personal data violations
employees,
business partners,
anybody who either has knowledge or has been made aware of information involving, inappropriate, unethical, or illegal behavior related to our company’s operations,
anybody that suspects harm to the public’s interest related to our company’s operations.
Whichever way you choose to contact EthicsPoint Portal, you will be given a unique case number which you must keep safely to receive feedback.
Reports are entered directly on the EthicsPoint Portal secure server to prevent any possible breach in security. EthicsPoint Portal makes these reports available only to the persons responsible for evaluating the report. Each of these report recipients has had training in keeping these reports in the utmost confidence.
