We have established this whistleblower hotline through Lighthouse Services, Inc. for a specific purpose.

 

That purpose is to report fraud, unlawful, unethical and other types of improper behavior. A more complete description of the purpose of this policy is available in our ethics policy statement. This hotline is NOT a substitute for routine communications within our organization between associates and their supervisors and managers, particularly as to workplace duties.

 

Likewise, it does not replace communications with HR staff about benefit issues or other job-related issues.  This Whistleblower hotline is an additional communication tool for specific types of situations, and it is provided because we believe that it is a good business practice to do so.

 

Regular business matters that do not require anonymity should be directed to the employee’s supervisor and should not be submitted using this service.
