Concerns
57

Line is available to all colleagues if you do not feel comfortable resolving an issue or question using any of the other available resources.

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 colleagues 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 or one of the other resources listed above.

What is the Integrity Action Line?

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. Contacting the Integrity Action Line is never required.

The use of the Integrity Action Line for reporting concerns is encouraged by law in some countries where we do business and discouraged, or closely regulated, in others. The availability and scope of the Integrity Action Line in any individual country may vary from the general description which follows. Check with your local Compliance Officer if you have questions.

How does the Integrity Action Line work?

You will reach a 24-hour call center that is staffed by operators from a company that specializes in taking calls from colleagues with integrity or compliance questions and concerns. To reach the Integrity Action Line, from the United States call
1-866-SPCORP-1. Callers from outside the United States should dial the AT&T U.S.A. Direct Service access number for your country and provide the operator with the number 678-250-7535. At the tone, dial the billing number 8441569585 followed by the number 2309. Although the initial prompt will ask if you prefer English or Spanish, if you hold on the line, translation services for virtually all languages are available.
