AGCO E-mail

The AGCO Intranet

AGCO employees have additional resources available to them via the AGCO Ethics and Compliance intranet site. This site is available by clicking on the Ethics icon.

Call the AGCO Ethics Line to ask advice on or report suspected violations related to:

  • Equal Opportunity
  • Insider Trading
  • Health and Safety
  • Privacy of Communications
  • The Environment
  • Computer Systems
  • Conflict of Interest
  • Harassment-Free Workplace
  • Fair Competition
  • Anonymous Submissions

If you submit a question/comment on the internet, you can remain anonymous, unless your e-mail address contains self-identifying information.

If you call your country’s designated AGCO Ethics Line, you can also remain anonymous.

However, information that involves a threat to life and/or property, illegal activities, or legal action against the Company may require action that does not allow for complete anonymity.

Don't Be Afraid

To ask.

Ethical questions are by nature difficult, and it can be hard to ask for clarification on a sensitive subject or report a suspected violation. However, please don’t be afraid to call; the impact and risk to customers, employees and the company are too great to ignore.

Of Confidentiality

We are sensitive to the need for confidentiality. Obviously, however, information that involves a threat to life and property, illegal activities, or legal action against the Company may require action that does not allow for complete anonymity.

It’s not a valid issue.

When it comes to ethical situations, there is no such thing as a dumb question. It is vital that any potential problem or concern be reviewed as soon as possible to prevent major issues from developing in the future. Remember, the important thing is to ASK.
