Speak up

Don’t wait for someone else to speak up. Sometimes, a simple, “please don’t do that” to a coworker may be enough to correct behavior. If it doesn’t work, raise the concern yourself. Looking the other way when it comes to unlawful or unethical conduct puts us all at risk.

This is our way
We respect and investigate all reports made in good faith. This means you are telling us what you believe is true. You don’t have to know all the facts to make a report. If you honestly suspect inappropriate or unlawful conduct, report it. This helps preserve our reputation and the trust that others place in us.
