Assignment of the complaint to a subject matter expert for investigation or a response as needed. Maintaining contact with the complainant regarding the status of the investigation. Review of the report submitted by investigator for the thoroughness of the investigation and soundness of the resolution by the Head of Ethics and Compliance Program.

Exhibit A - Investigation Checklist Exhibit B - Fairness Confidentiality As shown above, there is an increase in the number of calls received in 2018 compared to 2017. We believe this is due to the increase in awareness of our Help Line and employee belief that the Company takes all complaints seriously. We also noted that the percentage of anonymous calls has decreased by 5% . This is an indication of the awareness of the Company’s commitment to not retaliate for reporting a concern about a violation of the Code of Ethics. Our recommended protocol for reporting a concern about violations of the Company’s Code of Ethics is for employees to report a concern to their immediate supervisor. However, we do not discourage anyone from reporting a concern through the Help Line. We remind employees that there will be no retaliation for reporting a concern about unethical behavior by anyone even if their reported concern is not substantiated. The Company will protect employees who refuse to act unethically to gain business. We also assure that our non-retaliation policy applies to all whistle blowers who report bribery and corruption incidents from all of our locations around the world including employees of joint venture partners. © 2021 Day & Zimmermann.
