We Follow the Code

Sharing Concerns

Even the best laid foundations must be monitored for damage and wear. Our foundation is no different. We protect the business we've built by speaking up and sharing concerns when something isn't right.

Of course, speaking up isn't always easy. That's why CDM Smith provides multiple avenues for asking questions and raising concerns, including:

  • Your own manager or another supervisor
  • Your HR Business Partner
  • The Office of General Counsel
  • The Compliance Department
  • The Integrity Line

Using the Integrity Line

The Integrity Line is a confidential way to report known or suspected violations. You may report anonymously, where allowed by local law. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Integrity Line is staffed by third-party ethics and compliance specialists who will listen, ask questions and report your concern to the Compliance Department. Reports may be submitted via the following methods:

  • Online/Web: Visit cdmsmith.ethicspoint.com/
  • Phone: ​The United States phone number is 1 (844) 330-7087. To access a phone number for a location outside of the United States, visit the link displayed above and select your country or region from the dropdown menu provided. A local phone number is available for most locations where we do business. Where telephone reporting is unavailable, please submit a report online.
  • Mobile Device: Simply scan the QR Code below with your mobile device to begin. Directions on how to file a mobile report are accessible here.QR code for Integrity Line

Our Commitment to Non-Retaliation

CDM Smith does not retaliate or tolerate retaliation against anyone who participates in an investigation or reports a violation or concern in good faith. If you believe you are the target of retaliation or have witnessed retaliation against someone else, report it immediately.

A: Yes. Even if you don't know all the facts, you have a reasonable suspicion that something unusual and potentially improper may have occurred. Asking questions initially is the correct thing to do. At this point, a report you make honestly is considered in good faith, regardless of whether the subsequent investigation uncovers any actual misconduct. Since this is a potentially serious matter, you are right to speak up. If the report turns out to be unsubstantiated, neither you nor the implicated employee will face any consequences.
