At Edwards, our people are committed to integrity, honesty, openness and fairness. Edwards’ Global Business Practice Standards, our Titanium Book, is a practical guide to help us with business practice issues we face as a dynamic, growing corporation.
Edwards promotes an environment where employees can raise questions and concerns without fear of retaliation. You should feel comfortable approaching your supervisor, your human resources partner, the Legal Department, Corporate Responsibility or management in instances where you believe violations of policies or standards have occurred.
In situations where you prefer to speak with someone outside of Edwards, you are encouraged to use the Edwards Integrity Helpline which is hosted by a third party helpline provider, EthicsPoint. If you report an issue, your identity and the information you share will be provided on a “need-to-know” basis with those responsible for resolving the concern. If you choose, you may remain anonymous through the Edwards Integrity Helpline, as permitted by applicable law, but if you identify yourself we will be able to follow up with you and provide feedback.
The information you provide through the helpline will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if you should choose. You have our guarantee that your comments will be heard and without fear of retaliation as per the Titanium Book.
