If they are uncomfortable discussing with the ceo, chris 180 has contracted with a third party (the network) that provides an 800 number for anyone to report an ethics or conflict of interest report. The caller does not have to identify themselves to protect their anonymity. The interviewer relays the information to senior management or the board of directors based on the nature of the issue. All allegations are investigated. Monthly reports are received from the network, reviewed by a member of senior management and retained for further needs.”
