FAQ

Six things you need to know

What is the Integrity Line?

The Integrity Line is Linde’s global reporting channel through which you can raise concerns about potential violations of the Code of Business Integrity.

Who administers the Integrity Line?

Reports via web and phone are administered by the independent service provider NAVEX. The hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can accommodate calls in local languages.

Who else can I speak to?

Linde encourages to use the reporting channel you are most comfortable with. You can approach your line manager, your Compliance Officer, or any member of management, the HR department, the Legal department or Group Security.

What happens after I contact the Integrity Line?

Once you submit a concern via the phone or web, you will receive a report key and password which can be used to follow up on your submission. An electronic summary is sent to an Integrity Line Manager for review and to determine further action.

What is Linde’s stance on retaliation?

Linde strictly prohibits retaliation against someone reporting an issue or concern in good faith. We consider acts of retaliation to be misconduct. Our commitment to such is stated in the first part of our Code. We seek to provide a safe, healthy and productive workplace for our employees. Every report of retaliation is taken seriously.

Are reports to the Integrity Line secure and confidential?

EthicsPoint is hosted on NAVEX's secure servers and is not part of Linde’s website or intranet. Any report you make will be kept confidential to the fullest extent possible consistent with law and good business practices.
