The confidentiality of trade secrets, proprietary information, and similar confidential commercially-sensitive information (i.e. financial or sales records/reports, marketing or business strategies/plans, product development, client lists, patents, trademarks, etc.) about the Company or operations, or that of our clients or partners, is to be treated with discretion and only disseminated on a need-to-know basis (see policies relating to privacy). 1.3 Ethics Hotline
I. SCOPE
This policy applies to all CREA, LLC (CREA employees, including part-time, temporary, and contract employees).
II. PURPOSE
CREA is committed to the highest possible standards of ethical, moral, and legal business conduct. In conjunction with this commitment and CREA's commitment to open communication, 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 Issue Resolution Policy as outlined in the CREA, LLC Employee Handbook.
III. POLICY
The whistleblowing policy is intended to cover serious concerns that could have a large impact on CREA, such as actions that:
May lead to incorrect financial reporting; Are unlawful; Are not in line with company policy, including CREA's core values; Otherwise amount to serious improper conduct.
Regular business matters that do not require anonymity should be directed to the employee's supervisor and are not addressed by this policy.
IV. SAFEGUARDS
Harassment or Victimization
Harassment or victimization of individuals submitting hotline reports will not be tolerated.
