Speak Up: Report a Compliance Concern
At ZimVie, we empower everyone to speak up when there are concerns. ZimVie worked with an independent third party to establish reporting system with global direct-dial telephone numbers where anyone may report of compliance concerns. This “Speak Up Hotline” allows callers to ask questions or report known or suspected compliance concerns related to violations in any of the following areas:
- Applicable laws, regulations, and/or industry codes
- U.S. federal health care program requirements
- ZimVie’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
- ZimVie’s policies and procedures
Concerns may also be reported about ZimVie’s accounting, internal controls, or auditing-related matters; or for any other general compliance concerns or issues.
We strictly prohibit retaliation, in any form, against a person who raises a good faith concern.
The Speak Up Hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reports are received by a trained operator at an independent third party provider. Reports are confidential and may be made anonymously, if permitted by law. ZimVie will investigate and follow up on all Speak Up Hotline reports received.
