Our goal is to assure and enhance the integrity, people, processes, and assets
needed by all stakeholders of Charles River Laboratories.
We are pleased to work with EthicsPoint to provide this web site, which is intended
to make it easier to communicate with us in two critical respects. First, it offers a way for our employees
to make confidential complaints regarding accounting, internal control, and auditing matters.
Second, it provides a method for all interested parties to communicate with Charles River Laboratories
Non-Management Directors - to hear your suggestions, concerns or report of misconduct.
We believe that Charles River Laboratories' viability and integrity depend on the
protection of our critical assets, including our people, physical assets, and our information. We also
believe that our communication, internal controls, and processes must constantly adapt to the changing needs
and objectives of the company as well as to the changing marketplace. We appreciate your support and
cooperation in keeping Charles River Laboratories an ethical company from top to bottom.
