Our Commitment

As the management and operating contractor for NREL, the Alliance for Sustainable Energy (Alliance) is committed to upholding strong values of responsibility, integrity, and ethics for all employees working at NREL.

We expect and want you to feel comfortable raising your concerns to your supervisor or manager.

Alternatively, with the EthicsPoint hotline hosted by NAVEX, a third-party provider, you have an additional option to provide information on a confidential basis. You have our guarantee that your comments will be heard, and you can maintain your confidentiality by using the system-generated EthicsPoint user name and password.
