Challenge	When Jeff Killeen stepped into the role of the first Chief Compliance Officer at Bumble Bee Seafoods, he had a tall order in ahead of him: consolidate and place as many compliance functions as possible under one roof. The largest branded shelf-stable seafood company in North America, Bumble Bee has more than 1,500 employees and operations spread out from its headquarters in San Diego to fish suppliers in Southeast Asia. Killeen needed to formalize the company’s ethics and compliance program to address Bumble Bee’s specific industry complexities, resonate across the company’s global operations, use resources conservatively and wisely, and most importantly, help the company maintain a culture that supported business values as well as objectives.

Solution	To meet those challenges head on, Bumble Bee turned to NAVEX’s integrated suite of ethics and compliance software.

Having used the software at a previous organization, Killeen was familiar with the solution’s grounding properties. “It’s an excellent program that serves as a base for a number of things,” said Killeen. EthicsPoint documents and tracks incident reports that come from Bumble Bee’s hotline as well as its extended reporting channels. Killeen now has the ability to document open-door reports that come directly to him, ensuring that all reports are addressed and that risks are managed. Read More Log in to view content
