Yes, GXO’s Code of Business Ethics strictly prohibits retaliation against employees who bring forth concerns in good faith. What is “good faith”? Good faith means you believe, or you see or experience the issue you are raising to our attention.
Investigation Process
We review all reports we receive and determine if an investigation is needed. If an investigation is necessary, an investigator may reach out for additional information, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and determine appropriate next steps.
Generally, the reporting party is informed once the investigation is concluded and whether a policy violation was identified, though specific details about the investigation, such as disciplinary actions, may remain confidential due to privacy considerations.
While we would like to provide an average timeframe in which an investigation is typically completed, every matter raised to our attention is unique to itself and is comprised of various challenges. Be assured, we take all matters raised to us seriously and complete an investigation as timely as we can. If you’ve used the website or telephone number to report a matter to us, please continue to follow up there as we may have questions or updates on the investigation. If you reported this directly to us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Confidentiality and Privacy
Every report that we receive is treated as confidential. Reports are shared only with employees and third parties who help us investigate the matter so a comprehensive investigation can be completed. Throughout the investigation we may need to speak to employees to help us understand what happened. We do ask questions and may look at documents or other data, some general and some specific, that help us perform a comprehensive investigation.
To protect the integrity of the investigation, we ask employees not to discuss the details of an ongoing investigation with coworkers.
Participation in Investigations
If asked to participate, you are expected to cooperate fully, provide truthful information, and keep the details confidential. As an employee of GXO, our Code of Business Ethics does require you to report known or potential violations, provide truthful and honest information and cooperate in any investigation in which we ask you for information. The full statement is below.
“Failure to report known or potential violations of the Code can have significant consequences. Employees who violate the Code, fail to report a potential issue, withhold information about an actual or suspected issue, make a false statement during an investigation, or otherwise fail to cooperate in an investigation may face appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.”
