Reporting Accountability Concerns
We expect our employees and those with whom we do business to act with integrity and honesty every day.
We strive to foster a culture where people are empowered to make good and ethical decisions and never have to compromise their personal integrity or the integrity of our company. We expect people to speak up when they see or experience a behavior that does not align to this standard.
Pega has established a compliance hotline for you to report any violations or suspected violations of the Code of Conduct and other Company policies, laws, or regulations. This should be used to report any concerns including:
- Harassment
- Internal controls
- Bribery
- Fraud
- Financial misconduct
- Employee grievances
- Discrimination
- Anything that may be detrimental to the company’s well-being or the welfare of its employees, (“Reportable Matters”)
Do you have a concern?
You are encouraged to discuss compliance-related issues and concerns, such as those previously noted, with your direct manager or local management, or Pega contact. In addition, you should immediately report any compliance-related concerns through our reporting system, administered by Lighthouse Services/Syntrio, via 24/ email, telephone, website, or fax. Lighthouse/Syntrio’s web reporting function has web forms available in over 40 languages and is accessible 24/7/365.

Your role & privacy
You may choose to submit your concern anonymously (unless your country’s law requires disclosure of your identity), or you may provide your name and contact information. Including your personal information allows you to be available for follow-up questions. Any data collected during the process is subject to relevant data protection and privacy regulations, as well as appropriate security standards. We do not tolerate discrimination or retaliation, and you will not face discipline for a complaint submitted in good faith.
What happens when you report a concern?
All concerns are reviewed by an impartial team to determine if there is a basis for investigation or inquiry. This may include reaching out to you for additional information if you provide your name. Where/as appropriate or required, you will be kept apprised of the investigation and outcome.
