EthicsPoint is a comprehensive and confidential reporting tool created by NAVEX that enables management and staff members to work together to address fraud, abuse, and other misconduct in the workplace while cultivating a positive work environment.

• Our staff members and other stakeholders are our most important assets. By creating open and secure channels of communication, we promote a positive work environment and maximize productivity.
• An effective reporting system augments our other efforts to foster a culture of integrity and ethical decision-making.

Yes. EthicsPoint enables you to file a confidential, anonymous report via either the web intake site or digital intake site.

The EthicsPoint system allows employees to report any violation of our Compliance Policies, or other concerns you may have.

When you observe some behavior that you believe violates our policies such as the code of conduct and ethics, conflict of interest, bribery, fraud and corruption, among others, we expect you to report it. Ideally, you should report your concerns through the Ethicspoint, however, there maybe circumstances when you are not comfortable or unable to report it through the system. In such instances the concerns may be shared directly with the manager or the designated individuals, who will report the concern through Ethicspoint.

We all have the right to work in a positive environment and with that right comes the responsibility of acting in an ethical manner and duty of care of reporting the concerns, regardless of the knowledge and personal assessment of its validity. Reporting concerns is not a matter of personal opinion, but a duty to ensure accountability and prevent harm and by working together, we can maintain a healthy and productive work environment.

We certainly do. In fact, we need you to report. You know what is going on in CDRI - both good and bad. You may have initial knowledge of an activity that may be cause for concern. Your reporting can minimize the potential negative impact on the CDRI and our people. Also, offering positive input may help identify issues that can improve culture and performance.

Reports are entered directly on the EthicsPoint secure server. NAVEX makes these reports available only to specific individuals within the CDRI who are charged with evaluating the report, based on the type of violation and location of the incident. The reports raised will be duly noted and appropriate action will be taken.

NAVEX does not generate or maintain any internal connection logs with IP addresses, so no information linking your PC to EthicsPoint is available.

If you feel uncomfortable making a report on your work PC, you have the option of using a PC outside our work environment (such as one located at an Internet café or at a friend’s house) through the EthicsPoint secure website. Many people choose this option, as NAVEX data shows that fewer than 12% of reports are generated during business hours.

A report from home, a neighbor’s computer, or any Internet portal will remain secure and anonymous. An Internet portal never identifies a visitor by screen name and the EthicsPoint system strips away Internet addresses so that anonymity is totally maintained.

The EthicsPoint system protects your anonymity. However, if you wish to remain anonymous, you - as a reporting party - need to ensure that the body of the report does not reveal your identity by accident. For example, “From my cube next to Jan Smith…” or “In my 33 years…”.

There is a section in the report to identify yourself, if you wish.

CDRI company promotes ethical behavior. All unethical conduct, at any level, ultimately hurts CDRI and all staff members, including you. If you know of any incidents of misconduct or ethical violations, consider it your duty to yourself and your coworkers to report it.

File a report. Through NAVEX, you can file your report so it can be properly understood. We'd rather you report a situation that turns out to be harmless than let possible unethical behavior go unchecked.

The EthicsPoint system and report distribution ensure that implicated parties are not notified or granted access to reports in which they have been named. Ethicspoint ensure that strict confidentiality of the reports are maintained.

When you file a report through EthicsPoint, you receive a unique, randomized number called a “Report Key” and are asked to choose a password. You can return to the EthicsPoint system again and access the original report to add more details or answer questions posed by CDRI. We strongly suggest that you return to the site in the time specified to answer CDRI’s questions. You and CDRI will enter into an “anonymous dialogue,” where situations are not only identified, but can also be resolved, no matter how complex.

All EthicsPoint correspondences are held in the same strict confidence as the initial report, continuing under the umbrella of anonymity, if preferred.

To ensure that security and confidentiality is maintained, if you lose your report key or password, you will need to file a new report. Mention in the new report that it is related to a report you previously submitted.
