At Cooper Standard, Integrity Drives Us to be honest, ethical and responsible. Our Code of Conduct defines these expected behaviors and applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and controller. When something doesn’t seem right, we expect you to take action to address the issue and report it to Cooper Standard. You should report any suspected or actual violations of our Code of Conduct to one of the Company’s ethics reporting resources.
We have established a number of ethics reporting resources for employees and third parties to report any suspected or actual violations of our Code of Conduct.
Employees can report violations to their supervisor or manager, to any member of the Human Resources team, the legal department, or ethics and compliance office (ethicsandcompliance@cooperstandard.com.) in addition to using any of the following methods. Third parties may also report violations using these methods:
The Cooper Standard IntegrityLine is a reporting service hosted by a third-party provider, Navex Global, that allows you to ask a question or submit a report online or obtain a toll-free hotline number. Where allowed by local law, you may choose to submit a report anonymously. For more information about the IntegrityLine, please see these commonly asked questions.
You can report known or suspected violations of law or our policies or ask for guidance to the Legal Department or ethics and compliance office by emailing ethicsandcompliance@cooperstandard.com.
