We take pride in maintaining high standards of excellence in ethics and compliance. We are committed to complying with laws, regulations, and contractual obligations to which we are subject.
We require our employees to conduct themselves with integrity and in an ethical manner. Similarly, all partners and subcontractors are expected to promote lawful and ethical conduct.
In situations where the person is not comfortable approaching their supervisor or management, he or she is encouraged to use the Pathfinder confidential and anonymous hotline, hosted by a third party hotline provider, EthicsPoint.
The information provided via the hotline will be sent by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis.
