SECTION 8 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE It is the policy of SEKO to promote a safe environment for its employees. SEKO is committed to working with its employees to maintain a work environment free from violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior. While this kind of conduct is not generally associated with companies like ours, no company is immune. Violence, threats, harassment, intimidation and other disruptive behavior in our workplace will not be tolerated; that is, all reports of incidents will be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately. Such behavior can include oral or written statements, gestures, or expressions that communicate a direct or indirect threat of physical harm. Individuals who commit such acts may be removed from the premises and may be subject to disciplinary action, criminal penalties, or both. SECTION 9 ANONYMOUS HOTLINE SEKO conducts its business ethically and in compliance with all laws in the countries where SEKO does business - including all state, federal and international laws. In short, we are committed to always doing the right thing. For that reason, we have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy as well as introduced an Anonymous Hotline specifically designed to be part of an effective program to prevent and detect - as well as report possible violations of law and conduct. SEKO encourages its employees, agents, and worldwide partners to raise concerns that will help us with our commitment to ethical, moral and legal business conduct. This policy aims to provide an avenue for employees to raise concerns and reassurance that they will be protected from reprisals or victimization for whistleblowing in good faith. However, if an employee feels that their anonymity is not required then they should follow our existing grievance procedure.
We need your cooperation to implement this policy effectively and maintain a safe working environment. Do not ignore violent, threatening, harassing, intimidating, or other disruptive behavior. If you observe or experience such behavior by anyone on company premises - whether he or she is a company employee or not - report it immediately to your Human Resources Department, management, or the local authorities. The incident will be investigated and appropriate action taken. If you or someone else in the office is feeling unsafe or threatened by another employee, remove yourself from the situation if possible, call law enforcement immediately, and report the incident.
The Anonymous Reporting Hotline is intended to cover serious concerns and/or sensitive issues that could have a large impact on SEKO, such as actions that: • May lead to incorrect financial reporting; • Are unlawful; • Are not in line with company policy, including the Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy; or • Otherwise amount to serious improper conduct.
