RAISING
CONCERNS AND SEEKING ADVICE
What if I have questions about the Standards?
The Standards cannot answer every question.
Employees should feel empowered to make decisions regarding
the application of the Standards but there may be times when
you may want additional guidance or advice. There are a variety
of resources available to help. Your immediate supervisor
is a good place to start.
You may also get help or advice from:
- Your local management.
- Your local Compliance Officer.
- The Law department.
- The Human Resources department.
- The Integrity Action Line.
When should I raise concerns? Whom should
I contact?
You should report known or suspected violations
of law, regulation or company policy, including the Standards,
as soon as you become aware of them. You should also raise
concerns about risks of such violations before these risks
become actual problems. You should speak up if you believe
that you or your co-workers risk violating laws, regulations
or company policies, or if you find yourself uncomfortable
with a situation. When in doubt, raise your concerns. You
should contact your manager, the Law department, your local
Compliance Officer or Human Resources to make a report or
raise a concern. Of course, you may always call the Integrity
Action Line.
How does the Integrity Action Line work?
The Integrity Action Line provides a confidential
way to report a concern, to report suspected misconduct, or
to obtain information or advice regarding the application
of company policies or laws. The caller may give his or her
name or may call anonymously. To reach the Integrity Action
Line, from the United States call |
