Our Commitment
Our commitment to strong ethical behavior is reflected in Paramount's Global Business Conduct Statement. It explains in practical terms our philosophy and defines the conduct expected in today’s complex business environment. In some circumstances, the standards are defined by law; in others, the standards provide important ethical guidelines for dealing with colleagues, customers and business partners.
We are committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. We want you to feel comfortable approaching your supervisor or management in instances where you have questions and particularly where you believe violations of policies or standards have occurred.
In situations where you believe your report should be directly communicated to Paramount's Office of Global Compliance or where you prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, you are encouraged to use OPENLINE. Raising concerns protects the Paramount community. Paramount absolutely prohibits retaliation against anyone for raising an integrity concern in good faith.
Commonly Asked Questions
How can I report my concern through OPENLINE?
If you wish to report a business conduct concern, you may complete a report on here on the OPENLINE website, or you may call the OPENLINE hotline and speak with a specialist in the EthicsPoint Contact Center. Regardless of which option you select, you will have the option to remain anonymous if you so choose, except in countries that prohibit anonymous reporting.
The number you should use to contact the telephone hotline can vary by country. In most cases, Paramount offers a telephone number you can call with no cost to you. Note the hotline may initially be answered in English. The specialist who answers your call will arrange for a speaker fluent in your native language if you would prefer to report your concern in a language other than English. Contact Center Specialists are available 24 hours a day.
Does management really want me to report?
We certainly do. In fact, we need you to report. Your willingness to report a problem or concern translates into an improvement opportunity for Paramount. Reporting a concern can minimize the potential negative impact on the company and our customers, and, most importantly, help to alleviate a difficulty you might be facing. Also, offering input may help identify issues that can improve corporate culture and the company’s overall performance. If you observe or suspect a violation of Paramount policy or of the law, as an employee, you have the obligation to speak up. Please do not assume that someone else is going to raise the concern. Unless you speak up, Paramount may not have the chance to investigate and address the situation.
