Upon receipt of such communications, the correspondence will be directed to the appropriate person, including individual directors. A copy of any such written communication may also be forwarded to our legal counsel and a copy of such communication may be retained for a reasonable period of time. You may submit your concern anonymously or confidentially.
In order to manage efficiently the volume of correspondence received, communications will be reviewed by the Office of Corporate Secretary for the purpose of determining whether the contents are appropriate for transmission. The Office of Corporate Secretary will not transmit:
- communications that advocate that Organon engage in illegal activity;
- communications that contain offensive or abusive content;
- communications that have no relevance to the role of the Board or to the business of Organon;
- résumés or other job-related inquiries (outside of the director nomination process); and
- mass mailings, solicitations, and advertisements.
Comments or questions regarding the nomination of directors and other corporate governance matters will be referred to the Chair of the ESG Committee. Comments or questions regarding executive compensation will be referred to the Chair of the Talent Committee.
In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment, on a confidential basis, of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
