Protection to Whistleblowers
- Any Whistleblower reporting Improper Activities will be protected against threats of retaliation, discharge, or other types of discrimination including compensation or terms and conditions of employment that are directly related to the disclosure of the report. In addition, no Whistleblower may be adversely affected because the Whistleblower refused to carry out a directive that, in fact, constitutes corporate fraud or is a violation of the law.
- Any other Employee assisting in the said investigation shall also be protected to the same extent as the Whistleblower.
