It takes courage to speak up when something’s not right. We depend on our employees to express concerns and report possible violations. The Company does not tolerate retaliation against employees who report concerns in good faith. Employees who support an investigation are also protected from retaliation. If you experience retaliation in any form, or believe that you have been treated unfairly, report the matter immediately.
Our Code
Speaking Up and Seeking Help
We all must report any potential violations of our Code, our policies or the law. If you have a concern, report it immediately to one of the following:
- A manager
- A local or global Human Resources representative
- A member of the Legal & Compliance team
If you feel that reporting to one of the above is not an option, you may also report your concerns (with the option to remain anonymous) through the following means:
- Email: codeconnection@mccain.com. This email is monitored by our Global Compliance team. They will keep your concern as confidential as possible, given the nature of the concern.
- Online: at www.mccain.ethicspoint.com.
- Ethics Helpline: a third-party call centre (where available). A complete list of telephone numbers is provided here.
The Ethics Reporting website and Ethics Helpline are available 24 hours a day in multiple languages. In some jurisdictions, McCain has adopted whitsleblower policies in accordance with local requirements. If applicable, you may also communicate your concerns in accordance with your local policy.
Any potential violation of our Code will be investigated appropriately. It is each employee’s obligation to cooperate promptly and truthfully. A failure to cooperate is, in itself, a breach of our Code.
Zero Tolerance for Retaliation.
