Reporting Violations
We encourage you to report good faith concerns, including possible violations of this Code of Conduct, so that they can be investigated and evaluated.
Concerns may be presented in person or in writing to our General Counsel or by calling the MGP Ingredients Compliance Hotline at the number posted on employee bulletin boards in our facilities and listed on our intranet site. Concerns may be reported on a confidential and anonymous basis, although providing your identity may assist the company in addressing your questions or concerns. Written concerns can be addressed to our General Counsel at MGP Ingredients, Inc., Cray Business Plaza, 100 Commercial, P.O. Box 130, Atchison, Kansas 66002-0130. All violations of our Code of Conduct will be reported to the General Counsel, who will cause an appropriate investigation to be made. Any concerns reported to the General Counsel about financial accounting practices or the company’s system of internal accounting controls will also be reported to the Chair of the Audit Committee.
The company will not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any manner discriminate against any employee in the terms and conditions of employment who, in good faith, reports any suspected violation of our Code of Conduct or any laws or regulations or who participates as a witness in any inquiry or investigation into any reported violation. Any act of retaliation in violation of our Code of Conduct is cause for disciplinary action.
