Global Ethics Hotline
We aim to provide an easy-to-use, reliable and anonymous communication tool to report any issues, concerns or violations of law or company policies in a safe and confidential manner. Every person has free, unlimited access to our anonymous and confidential incident reporting system, the www.GlobalEthicsHotline.com, which is operated by a third party. It is available to colleagues, customers, suppliers and other external stakeholders to raise concerns related to any issue, observed or suspected, including a product, quality, environmental or workplace concern.
You may use the Global Ethics Hotline to report any concern, including but not limited to:
The hotline staff, together with key internal stakeholders, review and investigate reports and take appropriate action. Escalation and resolution processes differ depending on the type of issue raised. Significant concerns and complaints related to accounting or auditing are also reported to the Audit Committee of the Board.
Confidentiality
Concerns reported through the Global Ethics Hotline may remain anonymous. Information provided through any of our reporting channels will be treated confidentially. In some instances, if an investigation is needed, information may be shared on a need-to-know basis. Thermo Fisher may be required by law or regulation to report certain types of activities.
Retaliation is prohibited
Thermo Fisher does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith, nor do we tolerate retaliation against anyone who participates in an investigation.
We are deeply committed to doing business the right way and strive to provide an environment in which colleagues and other stakeholders feel safe and encouraged to raise issues so we can work together to resolve them. To cultivate a supportive and transparent reporting culture, we regularly assess colleague sentiment and review the degree to which colleagues feel empowered to report their concerns.
