In most jurisdictions, you may submit reports relating to violations stated in our Code of Ethics, as well as ask for guidance related to policies and procedures or provide positive suggestions and stories. In some jurisdictions, there are local data privacy laws that restrict the method, topic, hierarchy, or anonymity of reporting. We have designed the system so when you submit a report to EthicsPoint via the internet or telephone, you will be guided through the process in consideration of local data privacy laws. For example, some countries restrict certain topics from being reported through the hotline. If you accidentally report one of these topics, EthicsPoint will notify you that you are prohibited from reporting this topic through the hotline and direct you to report the topic to local management.
We take every report seriously. After submitting, your concern will be reviewed by the appropriate team. You can follow-up through the system for updates on when the issue is resolved. Rest assured, we are committed to resolving issues and improving our company culture.
Once you submit your report, we are notified immediately and begin reviewing it. It may take several days to fully investigate the issue, as we coordinate and gather information. Throughout the process, we may have follow-up questions.
If the situation requires escalation, we will handle that internally. The report will be reviewed by higher management or other relevant departments to ensure a thorough investigation and appropriate action. We’re committed to addressing concerns at all levels.
When you submit a report, you will be issued a Report Key. Please write it down and keep it in a safe place. We ask you to use this Report Key along with the password of your choosing to return to EthicsPoint through the website or telephone hotline in 5-6 business days. By returning in 5-6 business days, you will have the opportunity to review any follow-up questions or submit more information about this incident if requested. You can also check back using your Report Key and password to find out when the issue is resolved.
