This is the central location for information about the European Union (EU) Whistleblowing Directive (2019/1937) and the implementation of the Directive by the EU member states.
If you would like to get detailed information on Corning’s approach to EU Whistleblowing Directive, please see Corning EU Whistleblower Policy or contact WhistlebEU@corning.com.
The implementation of the Directive in EU member states provides protection to whistleblowers who step forward and report breaches of EU laws, including the following:
• public procurement
• financial services, products and markets, and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing
• product safety and compliance
• transport safety
• protection of the environment
• radiation protection and nuclear safety
• food and feed safety, animal health and welfare
• public health
• consumer protection
• protection of privacy and personal data, and security of network and information systems
• breaches affecting the financial interests of the EU
• breaches relating to the EU internal market
Whistleblowers have three options to make a Whistleblower Report:
(i) Internally (ii) Externally (iii) Publicly (please see Corning EU Whistleblower Policy to be informed of public reporting option)
Internal Reporting Channel
You can submit a report in writing (online) or verbally (by telephone) via EthicsPoint - Corning's Compliance Line.
If you would like to request a face-to-face meeting with a local representative in your country, please contact Corning EU Whistleblower mailbox at WhistlebEU@corning.com to arrange a meeting.
External Reporting Channels
We strongly recommend whistleblowers to make a report via Corning’s internal reporting channel. Making a report via the internal reporting channels enables Corning to investigate, take necessary immediate actions and follow up in a timely manner. It also allows Corning to maintain confidentiality and protection of whistleblowers reporting in good faith.
If you prefer to submit your report to an external reporting channel instead of Corning’s internal reporting channel, you can directly report suspected misconduct to external authorities if the report concerns a breach (or suspected breach) of EU laws as listed in the Directive (as specified above) or as defined by the respective national laws.
