Report unethical or illegal conduct

Whether you are an employee, supplier, customer, vendor or other stakeholder, it takes courage to raise concerns, especially about an ethical or legal issue. When you observe behavior that you believe violates our code of conduct, we encourage you to report it. Tennant Company provides a variety of resources for raising concerns. If you have questions, or are uncomfortable about something you heard or witnessed, you have several ways to express your concerns.

Who do I contact?

In addition to our Ethics & Corporate Compliance (E&CC) team (Ethics@tennantco.com), we have partnered with a third party to provide a confidential, and if you choose, anonymous report (where allowed by law) through the EthicsPoint system. Reports are treated confidentially in compliance with relevant legal obligations and guidelines. If you are an employee, you can also contact an HR business partner or anyone in management with whom you are comfortable sharing your concerns.

When you report your concerns in good faith, we take deliberate steps to protect reporters, respect confidentiality and foster trust. Retaliation does not support our culture and has no place in our organization. By speaking up, you help Tennant Company remain an ethical, compliant, and transparent workplace.
