Compliance

These Business Practices are important elements of the Company’s effort to promote compliance with policies, laws, and regulations and to ensure appropriate business behavior.  These practices will be reviewed periodically to ensure they remain applicable to conducting our business.

Reporting Violations

If you are concerned or are aware of what appears to be an inappropriate situation, you are encouraged to notify your supervisor or an appropriate Company representative.  You can contact the legal department, a human resource representative, our Company compliance personnel, or pursue an issue with any higher level of management.  All reports of suspected violations, whether made anonymously or otherwise, will be treated confidentially and will be investigated promptly, thoroughly and fairly.  Intimidation or retaliation against anyone making such a report will not be tolerated.

You may communicate your concerns by telephone, through Internet access, in person, or by contacting the Compliance Hotline.  The Compliance Hotline, including Internet based access, enables you to anonymously report inappropriate activities regarding Company policy violations, violations of laws and regulations or other ethical concerns.
