RAISING CONCERNS

We are all expected to communicate honestly and openly with supervisors and others in leadership positions and, in good faith, raise concerns, including those about safety; possible misconduct; and violations of laws, regulations, or internal requirements.

When concerns are raised, employees in supervisory and other leadership positions are expected to:

• Listen to understand,
• Take concerns seriously,
• When appropriate, contact internal resources to investigate, and
• Take any appropriate action in response to investigation findings.

Adversely changing an employee’s condition of employment for a non-business reason (i.e., "retaliating") is not acceptable. Employees in supervisory and other leadership positions may not retaliate, tolerate retaliation by others, or threaten retaliation.

Look to the Code Connection to find additional guidance on sections of this Code of Conduct. If you have questions, contact your supervisor or Human Resources representative, or call the Compliance and Ethics Helpline at 888-231-2310.
