Who administers the AwareLine?

What is The Home Depot's stance on retaliation?
The Home Depot has a long-standing zero tolerance policy for retaliation. Retaliation against anyone who reports a good faith concern is prohibited and will not be tolerated. We consider acts of retaliation to be misconduct. We seek to provide a safe, healthy and productive workplace for our associates. Every report of retaliation is thoroughly investigated.
Are reports to the AwareLine secure and confidential?
Yes. The Home Depot uses a third party case management application to support AwareLine administration. EthicsPoint is hosted on NAVEX's secure servers and is not part of The Home Depot's website or intranet. We will strive to keep reports confidential to the fullest extent possible.
