American Express is committed to doing right by our colleagues. Acting with integrity and protecting our brand’s reputation is everyone’s responsibility, no matter where in the company you sit. The Amex Ethics Office (AEO) furthers this responsibility by managing the Amex Ethics Hotline (Hotline), the company’s official confidential whistleblower channel, where colleagues can raise concerns of violations of law, regulation or company policy, anonymously if preferred.
