We provide multiple secure, confidential channels to report concerns. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.

8. Compliance & Acknowledgment

All employees, contractors, and representatives are required to read, understand, and comply with this Workplace Conduct policy. Ignorance of these standards does not exempt individuals from accountability.

• Violations may result in corrective action, including coaching, suspension, or termination, depending on severity.
• Cross-divisional incidents are coordinated by the Global Compliance Office to ensure consistent resolution.
