Ethics for Everyone

The core of Linamar's culture is an environment built on trust and integrity. The role of each Linamar stakeholder is to ensure that any ethical concerns are brought to the attention of the company. The role of Linamar is to listen and investigate these concerns. By having a transparent reporting process to communicate ethical concerns, the company can be confident it is upholding Linamar's values and codes of conduct.

Every business is required, by law, to actively address reports of potential fraud, corruption, or unethical behaviour. Through commitments to the Ontario Securities Commission and the Linamar Audit Committee, and by requirement of the law, Linamar has partnered with NavexGlobal to utilize their EthicsPoint HelpLine.
