WELCOME TO THE WHIRLPOOL INTEGRITY LINE
Whirlpool Corporation is committed to a sustained, and thriving Speak Up/Listen Up culture where open, and honest communications are the expectation, not the exception.
The Integrity Line is a confidential, and anonymous (at the Reporter’s election) resource for employees or external parties to raise their voices, and bring good-faith ethics, compliance, and values-related concerns or questions to Whirlpool’s attention.
The Integrity Line is administered by an independent company, NAVEX. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can accommodate calls in multiple languages. A third-party operator will answer your call.
All Integrity Line reports are kept confidential, and maintained in compliance with applicable laws. The Integrity Line is hosted on secured servers through the NAVEX system, and is not part of Whirlpool’s website or intranet. NAVEX do not trace nor record phone calls.
Once you submit your concern, you will receive a unique report key, and password, which can be used to follow up on your report (e.g., track progress, communicate with investigators, submit additional information). If you lose them, you must file a new report.
Whirlpool’s Global Ethics and Compliance team reviews, and investigates all reports raised through the Integrity Line. Following an initial assessment, all reports are categorized within the EthicsPoint system, and assigned to an investigation team.
Whirlpool will take prompt action if your report is substantiated, and/or an improvement opportunity exists. Conclusions of investigations remain confidential, and a Reporter’s anonymity is always maintained.
