Immediately Reportable Criteria
Any concern of potential misconduct or behavior inconsistent with the Statement of Ethics should be reported.

Some concerns do not require a formal investigation or oversight by Global Ethics and are best handled by another party, independent of Global Ethics. Some examples are:
How to raise an Ethics concern or ask a question related to the Statement of Ethics
Part of building a culture of trust is learning to speak up when something’s not right, so that we can address the problem. The Open Door Communications process is the most direct way to voice any concern to a manager. If you believe your immediate manager is involved in the problem, discuss the issue with the next level of management who is not involved, or use the Open Door Helpline. If you do not feel comfortable following the Open Door process, you can raise a question or concern using one of the resources below.
Associates who come forward with concerns play an important role in maintaining a healthy, respectful and productive workplace, as well as protecting our stakeholders. These associates help our company address problems early — before more serious consequences develop. It‘s important for each of us to create a work environment where everyone can raise concerns of ethics issues without fear of retaliation.
Retaliation against associates who raise concerns or questions about misconduct will not be tolerated. Concerns should be raised in good faith, which means you have made a genuine attempt to provide honest and accurate information, even if you are later proven to have been mistaken. Walmart reserves the right to discipline anyone who knowingly makes a false accusation or has acted improperly. However, if an associate voluntarily reports they were involved in a violation, self-reporting may be considered when determining the appropriate disciplinary action to be taken.
