Speak Out is a confidential channel through which you can submit reports relating to actions or behaviours you believe are inconsistent with our Code of Conduct.
With Speak Out, you have the ability to file a confidential, anonymous report via either the telephone or the Internet.
Speak Out is administered by an independent company (NAVEX).
NAVEX is a leading provider of corporate ethics and compliance programs and hotlines worldwide, and manages Speak Out to ensure independence and objectivity.
We encourage you speaking up to the channel you are most comfortable, such as your line manager, another member of management, a relevant supporting function such as legal or HR, or the Compliance Officer of your Company.
Once you submit a report via phone or web, you will receive a report key and password to follow up on your submission. Then, an electronic summary is sent to the Speak Out Administrator who will contact with the Compliance Officer for review and to determine next steps.
No. Retaliation in any form against anyone who reports, in good faith, concerns or possible violations of the Code, Company policy, or the law, even if the report is mistaken, is absolutely prohibited.
We use NAVEX's case management application to support the administration of Speak Out. EthicsPoint is hosted on NAVEX's secure servers to prevent any possible breach in security. NAVEX makes these reports available only to specific individuals within our Company who are responsible for evaluating the reports. Any report you make will be kept confidential to the fullest extent.
