Whistleblowers may utilize the website for this purpose, there is actually no mention of a hotline however as there is no option to select only website/email/contact form, hence i have selected the option including hotline...

"KYOCERA AVX has implemented a variety of reporting or "whistleblowing" mechanisms to permit any KYOCERA AVX employee or Stakeholder (though our Report Misconduct webpage) to report any issue to the Corporate Compliance Officer which immediately triggers an investigation. " (p.2)

"Whistleblowing mechanism ... through the [KYOCERA AVX Reporting Misconduct](https://www.kyocera-avx.com/contact-us/reporting-misconduct/) mechanism accessible internally and through the KYOCERA AVX public webpage." (p. 3/4)

"All such reports are protected and retaliation for making such a report is strictly prohibited." (p.2)

"Whistleblowing mechanism and anti-retaliation policies which permit all employees and stakeholders to know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals ." (p.3)
