Every person, regardless of their position, shares in the
responsibility for promoting a positive and ethical environment.
As a publicly-traded company, Maine & Maritimes Corporation (MAM) falls
under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, requiring compliance with very
serious and responsible requirements. As a part of our values, and
as the holding company for Maine Public Service Company and MAM Utility
Services Group, we stress and adhere to extremely high standards of
conduct.
Creating a sustainable and successful company requires open and honest
communications between MAM and its subsidiaries and all employees.
To facilitate our desired, sustainable and value-based business
environment, we have installed an internet-based reporting system called
Ethicspoint® to foster effective, open, and honest communications.
This system allows employees, vendors, partners, and customers to report
serious issues or concerns in a completely anonymous and confidential
manner. As always, employees should first discuss their
issue/concern with their Manager or Human Resources. If this
avenue is inappropriate, then Ethicspoint® is available.
Ethicspoint® allows individuals to report at work or at home, depending
on the preference of the user. While we take great pride in the
ethics and honesty of our Company and employees, we also know that only
an open environment promotes improvements. Should you observe
potentially questionable behavior by an employee, partner, or vendor, we
encourage you to communicate observations anonymously through
Ethicspoint®. Your input is essential to ensure that we maintain a
compliant, positive, and productive workplace, while meeting the
expectations of our shareholders.
By logging in on the Internet at
www.ethicspoint.com you can file a report. On-line
instructions are available as to how to use the system; but, be assured
this is a user-friendly and confidential system. If you have any
questions or need clarification as to whether an issue rises to the need
to be reported, please contact Ethicspoint® at
info@ethicspoint.com for
instructions.
