Regeneron maintains an anonymous and confidential 24-hour helpline at 1-877-RGN-ETHX (1-877-746-3849) that provides individuals, whether employed by Regeneron or not, the means to raise concerns over any Regeneron activity that may be inconsistent with any law, regulation, company policy or our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
