NAVEX is a comprehensive and confidential reporting tool to assist management and employees to work together to address fraud, abuse, and other misconduct in the workplace, all while cultivating a compliant and ethical work environment.

• We believe that our employees are our most important asset. By creating open channels of communication, we can promote a compliant work environment and maximize productivity.
• Publicly traded companies are required by law to have an anonymous reporting vehicle to address accounting and auditing fraud directly to the audit committee.

Yes. With NAVEX, you have the ability to file a report via either the telephone or the Internet.

The NAVEX system is designed for employees to report any violation of our stated Code of Business Conduct or Policies, or any other question you may have.

When you observe some behavior you believe violates our Code of Business Conduct, we expect you to report it. Ideally, you should bring any concerns forward to your direct manager or other member of our management team. We recognize, however, that there may be circumstances when you are not comfortable reporting the issue in this manner. It is for such circumstances we have partnered with NAVEX. We would rather you report anonymously (where permitted by local laws) than keep the information to yourself.

Reports are entered directly to a NAVEX secure server to prevent any possible breach in security. NAVEX makes these reports available only to specific individuals within the company who are charged with evaluating the report, based on the type of violation and location of the incident. Each of these report recipients has had training in keeping these reports in the utmost confidence.

The NAVEX system is designed to protect you. In fact, we are contractually committed not to pursue a reporter’s identity. To further ensure your anonymity, you - as a reporting party - need to be careful not reveal any identifying details as part of your report.

Yes – so long as anonymous reporting is permitted by local laws. You will be asked to provide the same information you would provide in an Internet-based report; the interviewer will type your responses directly into NAVEX’s secure environment. Helpline-based reports have the same security and confidentiality measures applied to them during delivery as Internet-based reports.

There is a section in the report where you may identify yourself, if you wish.

We encourage you to file a report. NAVEX can help you prepare and file your report so it can be properly understood. We would rather you report a situation that turns out to be harmless than let possibly unethical behavior go unchecked because you were unsure.

The NAVEX system and report distribution protocols are designed so implicated parties are not notified about or granted access to reports in which they have been named.

When you file a report, either using the Internet or through NAVEX’s Contact Center, you receive a unique report key and are asked to select a password. With the report key and your password, you can return to the NAVEX system again, either by Internet or telephone, and access the original report. At that point, you can add more details.

NAVEX provides functionality that enables company representatives to post questions for you, even if you report anonymously. When you receive your report key, you will be provided with the amount of time we expect for the report to be processed. When that time has passed, we strongly suggest you check to see if any questions have been posted. Providing the opportunity for such dialogue means situations may not only be identified but can also be resolved, no matter how complex.

You can file an NAVEX report from any computer that can access the Internet. You can file from home. Many public locations, including most public libraries, have Internet computers.
