Prohibition on Retaliation
Kyverna prohibits and does not tolerate any form of retaliation.
Kyverna personnel shall not retaliate or in any manner discriminate against any individual, based upon any lawful action of such an individual, with respect to:
- Good faith reporting of possible violations of applicable law, the “Kyverna Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”, the “Kyverna Employee Handbook” or any other Kyverna Written Standard;
- Good faith participation in any investigation, audit or other action related to such a report; or
- Objecting to conduct that reasonably appears to be a potential compliance violation.
Kyverna prohibits retaliation against Kyverna personnel, even if their concerns are ultimately found to be unsubstantiated after investigation, unless the Kyverna personnel knowingly made a false allegation, provided false or misleading information in the course of an investigation, or otherwise acted in bad faith.
Any Kyverna personnel who, in good faith, reports a suspected violation, assists in the investigation of a potential issue, or requests information or clarification about the proper interpretation or application of any law, regulation, the “Kyverna Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”, the “Kyverna Employee Handbook” or any other Kyverna Written Standard should be able to do so freely and without worrying they will be retaliated against as a result.
