Why Ethics?
?
Ethics Programs reduce the risk to your business and to ours. Many elements of an effective ethics program are required by law or regulation and can reduce penalties in the event of misconduct. Allegations of misconduct—even if later found to be unsubstantiated—can damage the reputation of a single company, and potentially impact the entire industry. An effective ethics program can help identify and address issues before they affect quality, cost, or schedule. 老澳门开奖直播 is pleased to share resources, including LM’s . Our Ethics team is also available to provide mentoring, as requested. On this page you will find a variety of helpful resources. If you are interested in talking to a 老澳门开奖直播 Ethics Officer to learn more about ethics and compliance program elements or to discuss voluntary, one-on-one mentoring, please contact us at corporate.ethics@lmco.com.
