The Ethics & Compliance Reportline is an anonymous toll free number staffed by an independent organization called EthicsPoint, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No call tracing, recordless devices or identity tracking of any type are ever used at the Reportline. And even if you do choose to give your name, your report will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
When you call the Reportline, an interview specialist asks you a series of questions to better understand your concern. The operator prepares a report based on this information and forwards it to the LS&CO. Chief Compliance Officer for review, and, if necessary, investigation. At the end of the call you are given unique report and pin numbers and a call back date. To follow up on the report, just call back after that date and tell the operator your report and pin numbers. If additional information is needed from you before your concern can be resolved, you will be asked for it when you call back.
EthicsPoint is a comprehensive and confidential communications tool to assist management and employees to work together to address fraud, abuse, and other misconduct in the workplace, all while cultivating a positive work environment.
