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.
