Your manager is an excellent resource for clarifying the Code, assisting you in dealing with a specific ethical matter or reporting possible violations of GATX standards, laws or regulations. If you’re uncomfortable going to your manager, contact the next level manager. If you aren’t comfortable contacting any of those people, or you believe none of the individuals to whom you’ve reported a potential violation have taken appropriate action, reach out to any of these other contacts.
You can also make a report by calling our Network Hotline (the “Hotline”). The Hotline is operated by specially trained third-party representatives, who will listen to your concerns, ask questions, and review the information you provide. They will explain any reporting limitations imposed by local laws and regulations and will forward the details of the situation you reported to the appropriate person, who will take appropriate action. You can request that you be informed of the company’s response.
Keep in mind that local laws affect how the Hotline can be used. In some countries, it can be used only to report serious financial and accounting fraud or concerns about senior management. Some countries permit anonymous reporting while others don’t.
You can report a possible violation or express a compliance concern by sending an email to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (contactboard@gatx.com) or a letter to:
Chairman, Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
c/o Corporate Secretary
