Attalon partners with Ethico, a trusted third-party vendor, to provide a confidential, web-based reporting platform. This tool (e.g. MyComplianceReport) empowers all Attalon employees to securely report concerns related to fraud, abuse, misconduct, or unethical behavior, fostering a safe and respectful workplace environment.

No, emergencies should not be reported through MyComplianceReport. Emergencies require immediate action and should be handled by following your site’s established emergency protocols.

For example:

• For medical emergencies: Contact your local emergency services (e.g., 911) or follow Attalon’s procedures for rapid response.
• For safety hazards or urgent threats: Notify your supervisor or follow your site-specific safety protocols.

MyComplianceReport is designed for reporting non-urgent concerns related to misconduct, unethical behavior, or policy violations. While these matters are important, they are not intended to replace emergency response processes.

You can submit a report either:

• Online: Through the secure My Compliance Report web portal, or
• By Phone: By calling Ethico’s 24/7 hotline at (866-555-5555).

Both channels are available any time, day or night.

Yes! You are not required to provide your name or contact information when submitting a report—whether online or by phone. Anonymity is entirely up to you.

Once your report is submitted, you’ll receive a case number that you can use to follow up on your report at any time.

You are encouraged to report any suspected violations of Attalon’s Employee Handbook, as well as policies, or applicable laws and regulations. Examples of reportable concerns include but are not limited to:

• Misuse of Company Resources (e.g., using company assets, equipment, funds, networks, vehicles, and tools for personal gain)
• Harassment/Discrimination (e.g., unwelcome/negative conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older, disability or genetic information)
• Information Technology / Cybersecurity (e.g., improper use of information systems, unauthorized access, bypassing security controls)
• Ethical Violations (e.g., conflicts of interest, unfair business practices)
• Unacceptable Behavior (e.g., verbal or physical threats in the workplace)
• Safety Concerns (e.g., Hazardous workplace conditions, unsafe equipment, failure to follow safety standards)
• Security (e.g., unauthorized access, badge misuse, breaching secure areas)

Note: Reports made in good faith are taken seriously, and retaliation for reporting concerns is strictly prohibited.

To ensure a thorough investigation, please provide as much detail as possible, including:

• Names of individuals or organizations involved
• A clear description of the incident (e.g., what happened, when, and where)
• Names of witnesses or others with relevant knowledge
• How the issue came to your attention (if you were not directly involved)
• Any supporting evidence (e.g., emails, documents, photos, or text messages)

Incomplete information may result in delays or case closure due to insufficient details, and please do not include sensitive data (e.g. classified information)

Absolutely.

• Online reports: You can upload files (e.g., documents or photos) securely during the submission process.
• Phone reports: Ethico’s hotline agents may provide an email address for securely forwarding supporting evidence.
• Note: Please ensure that you do not include or attach sensitive data (e.g. classified information)

Reporting helps Attalon maintain high standards of integrity and ensures a safe, compliant, and ethical workplace. By reporting potential misconduct, you play a vital role in identifying and addressing unsafe practices or policy violations.

Unchecked violations can harm not only those directly involved but also the organization at large—potentially leading to serious consequences, such as legal action or loss of trust. All reports are reviewed thoroughly, and appropriate steps are taken to resolve issues, including disciplinary action when necessary.

Reports are stored securely on Ethico’s confidential servers. Only a small, trained team within Attalon’s Human Resources (HR) and Security departments has access to review and investigate reports. All matters are handled discreetly and shared only on a “need-to-know” basis.

You can follow up on your report at any time, either:

• Online: Use the original case number and passcode provided at the time of submission to check the status.
• By Phone: Call Ethico’s hotline and provide your case number, along with key details from your original report for verification.

Once your report is submitted, it is securely received by Attalon’s HR team. The team reviews the report to assess the nature of the concern, its potential impact, and the next steps for investigation.

If you provided sufficient information, the compliance team will initiate a formal review or investigation. If additional details are needed, they may reach out through the secure case management platform or hotline (if anonymity allows).

Updates are typically only provided if additional information is required from you. Investigations are conducted confidentially, and updates about specific corrective actions or outcomes may not always be shared. However, you are welcome to check the status of your report using your case number and passcode

The length of an investigation depends on several factors, including:

• The complexity of the issue
• The number of parties and witnesses involved
• The availability of relevant documents or evidence
• The urgency of the matter

While every effort is made to resolve investigations promptly, more complex cases may require additional time to ensure a thorough and fair review.

After the investigation, Human Resources documents its findings and makes recommendations for resolution. If the allegations are substantiated and or is confirmed, appropriate corrective actions may be taken. These actions could include:

• Policy updates or process changes
• Training or education for involved parties
• Disciplinary measures, up to and including termination, if warranted

The investigation process ensures:

• Reports are handled consistently, fairly, and thoroughly
• Company policies, laws, and ethical standards are upheld
• A safe, respectful, and compliant workplace environment is maintained

Your willingness to report concerns helps protect the organization and its employees, fostering trust and accountability throughout the workplace.  Thank you for “Reporting It!
