Roles and Responsibilities

Preventing and addressing third-party harassment is a collective duty. Roles span employees, managers, procurement teams, and compliance or legal functions.

Employees should model respectful behavior and report concerns promptly. Managers must support investigations, protect complainants, and ensure fairness. The procurement team should verify external partners meet minimum behavioral standards and maintain documentation of compliance efforts.

Clear responsibilities help reduce risk and enable timely action when incidents occur.

• Employees: respectful conduct and reporting
• Managers: support, protection, and follow-up
• Procurement: vendor screening and contract alignment
