Thermo Fisher Scientific is committed to acting with Integrity and providing a safe workplace. We strive to provide a secure atmosphere for employees, customers, vendors and visitors. Our goal is to provide every employee with an easy-to-use, reliable and anonymous communication tool to report any issues, concerns or violations of law or company policies in a safe and confidential manner.

Every person (external or employee) has free, unlimited access to our third-party anonymous and confidential incident reporting system, the Global Ethics Hotline.

This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a toll-free number for employees in North America (888-267-5255) as well as online at www.GlobalEthicsHotline.com, where employees can access additional toll-free numbers when calling from outside of North America.

Upon submission of your report, you will be provided with a unique access number and will be asked to create a personal password. It is very important that you document these access codes as you will use them to follow up on your report.

You can call the Global Ethics Hotline (888-267-5255) or log in to (www.GlobalEthicsHotline.com) to check the status of your report. Once your unique access number and password are entered, you may continue anonymous dialogue with Thermo Fisher through the message board section of the report called “Talk to Your Organization.”

Any complaints regarding human rights or environmental risks and issues which are in relation to the business activities of Thermo Fisher Scientific Germany including its suppliers in Germany and abroad will be forwarded to the German compliance teams for further investigation and handling. To learn more about this process and/or policy, please email ER@thermofisher.com.

You understand and acknowledge that to maintain our high standards for ethics and integrity your report may be shared, with a centralized team of trained specialists who will review your report, and if required, conduct an investigation.

Any personal data provided through any of our reporting channels will be treated confidentially. In some instances, if an investigation is needed, personal data may be shared with others (for example audit, compliance etc) on a need-to-know basis. Thermo Fisher may be required by law to report certain types of activities.
