Non-Restricting and Non-Retaliation Policy

We must maintain an environment where concerns of misconduct are brought forward. k8ÓéÀÖ will not tolerate prohibiting or restricting the reporting of theft, fraud, waste or abuse of materials, persons or property by k8ÓéÀÖ employees or contractors. Furthermore, k8ÓéÀÖ will not allow retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, raises a concern, reports suspected misconduct, or provides information related to an inquiry of suspected misconduct. The company will investigate any instances of possible retaliation and discipline employees who have retaliated against someone who has reported possible misconduct.

For k8ÓéÀÖ employees, additional information is available via the k8ÓéÀÖ intranet ECC website. Employees should also feel comfortable communicating with k8ÓéÀÖ Ethics & Compliance directly at ethics@dupont.com.
