May I report using either the internet or the telephone?
A: The Ethics Helpline is an external, confidential helpline that allows employees to report suspected illegal or unethical conduct at Technip Energies.
What types of situations should I report?
A: The Ethics Helpline is a communication tool providing an avenue for sharing information of any kind. You can ask questions through the system or report a work-related concern. A work-related concern is any suspected illegal or integrity wrongdoing, including but not limited to management issues, interpersonal relationships, favoritism, bullying, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, health and safety issues, conflicts of interest, bribes, theft or fraud, misuse of information or government or law enforcement-initiated matters.
I am not sure what I have observed or heard is a violation of company policy or involves unethical conduct. What should I do?
A: You can ask a question through the Ethics Helpline system and receive guidance from Compliance. You can also contact your Legal, Compliance, P&C representatives or discuss with management your concerns. Further, you can always file a report. We would rather you report a situation that turns out to be harmless than let possible unethical behavior go unchecked because you were not sure.
Is the system truly anonymous?
A: Yes. The Ethics Helpline is an external site administrated by a 3rd party vendor and does not generate or maintain any internal connection logs with IP addresses and/or phone numbers, so no information linking your computer, portable device or phone to the Ethics Helpline is available. A report from home, a café or any internet portal will remain secure and anonymous. T.EN cannot obtain any details on the employee if they choose to report anonymously.
