How to Raise a Legal or Ethical Compliance Concern
The Company offers you many ways to get answers to your questions
about legal and ethical issues and to raise any concern about
what might be a violation of this Code or Company policy:
Locally Within Your Business
• Your supervisor or manager
• Your Human Resources Representative
• The Company Ethics Office
• Next level of management
• Company Legal Department |
Employee Hotline
1-877-888-0002
Toll free in the United States
1-770-810-1147
Collect from international locations
Interpreters available |
Generally, your supervisor or manager will be in the best
position to resolve the issue quickly. If after raising a
legal or ethical compliance concern the issue is not resolved,
raise it with one of the other contacts listed above.
You can raise your concern orally or in writing, and if you
prefer, you can do it anonymously through a compliance "hotline"
that is administered by an independent third party.
If you are employed by a European affiliate of the Company,
you should only use the "hotline" to report (i)
accounting matters; (ii) internal accounting controls; (iii)
auditing matters; (iv) anti-bribery matters; and (v) banking
and financial crimes. All references to use of the employee
hotline in this Code are qualified by this limitation regarding
employees of European affiliates of the Company.
The whole idea is to speak up. Ask questions. Get answers.
Bring the concern into the open so that any problems can be
resolved quickly and more serious harm prevented.
