Open Communication – Ethics Hotline
Open Communication
Open communication is necessary to preserve all of our reputations, and Ryan Specialty wants you to ask questions when you are unclear about any of the information presented in Ryan Specialty’s Code. Ryan Specialty encourages you to speak up when you see possible violations, or when you need to report a violation or suspected violation by yourself or others.
Speaking up
To do so, you may use any of the following resources, but most importantly, you are encouraged to speak with any of the persons below with whom you feel most comfortable:
- Managers or the Office of General Counsel;
- Ryan Specialty Regulatory & Compliance or Legal Department;
- Chief Human Resources Officer or Human Resource Representative; or
- Ryan Specialty’s Ethics Hotline – dial toll-free, within the U.S., Guam, Puerto Rico and Canada: +1-855-661-0964 or ryanspecialty.ethicspoint.com. International Dialing Instructions for the Ethics Hotline by country are available online.
Allegations of actions prohibited in Ryan Specialty’s Code that involve directors or executive officers must be reported to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (“Audit Committee”).
Ethics Hotline
Ryan Specialty’s Ethics Hotline is confidential and hosted by a third party. Anyone who wishes to raise a concern about possible misconduct within Ryan Specialty, including misconduct by Employees, Clients, and Trading Partners, should know that they can remain anonymous.
If you observe conduct that concerns you, or that seems to violate Ryan Specialty’s Code or Policies, you are encouraged to speak up. By doing so, you give Ryan Specialty the opportunity to deal with the issue. Remaining silent about possible misconduct, including your own, may worsen a situation and undermine trust.
