Reporting Violations
You should report to Lawson known or suspected violations of this Code of Conduct. That is often the first step towards corrective action. Lawson employees are encouraged to contact their manager or area Vice President if they have a good faith belief that violations or suspected violations have occurred. It is Lawson’s policy to provide “whistleblower” protection to individuals who submit good faith reports of known or suspected violations. Whistleblower protection for anonymous reports will be governed by applicable local laws.
Lawson employees and the Lawson community, worldwide may submit a known or suspected violation report using one of the following three reporting methods:
-
Via the telephone. Country-specific telephone numbers are available through both of the following websites: (i) Worldwide Locations on this site or (ii) www.lawson.ethicspoint.com.
-
Via the Internet through www.lawson.ethicspoint.com. This site can also be accessed via the "Submit a Code of Conduct report" link to the right of this page under "Related Links."
PLEASE NOTE: Where allowed by local law, submission of a report by telephone or the internet can be made on an anonymous basis. All reports provided to Lawson through the www.lawson.ethicspoint site are provided to Lawson by a third-party service. -
Via the U.S. postal service. Lawson has established a P.O. Box that is used for violations reporting matters only. This address is Lawson Software, Inc., Uptown Station, P.O. Box 2702, Saint Paul, Minnesota, 55102 USA.
If an individual chooses to identify themselves in their report, Lawson will not knowingly allow any form of retribution because a person has, in good faith, reported known or suspected violations of this Code of Conduct, or questionable accounting or auditing matters. If you choose not to provide your identity in your report, Lawson’s ability to thoroughly investigate your report may be diminished. It is Lawson’s policy to promptly review every request received and to take appropriate action as deemed required or necessary.
Please note: In some countries, Lawson may not be allowed to accept anonymous reports on some Code of Conduct issues.
For Lawson employees, the three reporting methods mentioned above do not replace the role customarily performed by an employee’s manager or Lawson’s Human Resources Department.
