GOVERNANCE / GLOBAL ETHICS & COMPLIANCE In 2021, undeterred by the continuing global pandemic and focused on the importance of our integrity value and the How of what we do, we delivered Global Integrity Week , during which our teams delivered targeted trainings over one week in July on our most critical risk areas and to our high-risk roles, including 49 interactive, virtual trainings to more than 12,000 employees across 40 countries and more than 250 cities. With 100% participation from our Executive Committee in various trainings and participation from global leaders ranging from managers to vice presidents, the dynamic trainings, videos, communications and educational materials and resources delivered by internal and external subject matter experts, advanced our culture, empowered our employees and enabled our colleagues to achieve success the right way. With 69,000 employees and thousands of third-party business relationships, Whirlpool Corporation continually and systematically reviews compliance risks our business faces. We are aware of these risks and take proactive actions to respond to them. Whether through risk-based audits, managing our global third-party due diligence program or implementing and sustaining integrity channels that aid our employees to speak up, listen up and/or seek support, the Global Ethics and Compliance Program brings all of its operations and resources to bear to advance Whirlpool Corporation’s culture of integrity. We encourage our employees to ask questions and voice concerns. As stated in Our Integrity Manual, speaking up and listening up is the responsibility of all of us. Our integrity channels serve as resources our employees can use to ask questions or raise a concern. Through our integrity channels, including Our Integrity Line, or hotline, we ensure that our employees will be listened to and heard.
