Welcome to Westcon-Comstor Compliance & Ethics Hotline

Westcon-Comstor, a subsidiary of Datatec Ltd., is committed to the highest standards of moral and ethical behavior. This principle is not something that I--nor any of us--take lightly, because it forms the foundation of trust on which all our business activities take place. It is essential to our company's greatest assets--our reputation. And our reputation depends on each of us making the right choices, every day, everywhere in the world. Acting with integrity makes Westcon-Comstor a company to be proud of. Integrity towards our customers & partners, the communities in which we operate, and toward our Westcon-Comstor colleagues is fundamental to the success of our company.

We are committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation. We want you to feel comfortable in approaching your supervisor, management or local human resources (HR) representative in instances where you believe violations of our Business Code of Conduct or policies or standards may have occurred. We have found that concerns, issues or questions can be addressed more quickly when handled at the supervisor or manager level. However, in situations where you prefer to place a report in confidence, you are encouraged to use our hotline, hosted by a third party hotline provider, NAVEX.
