As part of Goldman Sachs’ Business Integrity Program, the firm provides its people and the public with various channels through which integrity concerns can be raised without reprisal. Regardless of the manner of escalation, all matters are carefully reviewed and investigated with the highest discretion.
The firm has contracted with an independent third party, NAVEX, that specializes in discreet reporting of integrity concerns and whistleblower matters. These matters may be communicated confidentially on an anonymous or disclosed basis via toll free hotlines or a web form. Both means of escalation are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week globally. All such reports are handled in accordance with the firm’s confidentiality protocols.
The firm strictly prohibits any retaliation for reporting a possible violation of law, ethics or firm policy, no matter whom the report concerns.
