Statement of Principles
Strive for Ethical Professionalism. We should each strive to maintain a
professional environment that considers ethics and compliance an integral part
of all of our business decisions.
Standard 1
At a Minimum, Ethical Professionalism Requires Legal
Compliance. For this reason, we must conduct company business in
accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and contractual obligations at
all times.
Standard 2
Report Data Truthfully and Accurately. We must each
take special care to ensure that information is recorded and reported
accurately and honestly.
Standard 3
Follow Company Record Retention Policies. We must
each ensure that all business records are retained in accordance with the
company's record retention policies.
Standard 4
Protect Confidential Information. We must each
protect the integrity of confidential information at all times.
Standard 5
Avoid Conflicts of Interest. We must each ensure
that we do not engage in activities that conflict with, or are otherwise
incompatible with, our responsibilities as company employees.
Standard 6
Don't Offer or Accept a Bribe or Kickback. Do not
accept favors from potential business partners in exchange for your business
decisions, and do not offer favors to potential customers in return for
business.
Standard 7
Always Remember That the Government Is a Unique Customer.
We will conduct our government business with the highest degree of integrity
and honesty.
Standard 8
Compete Ethically and Fairly. We must take special
care to avoid engaging in anti-competitive activities or unfair trade
practices.
Standard 9
Treat Government Investigations as Serious Matters.
We will cooperate with all government investigations and reasonable requests
for information.
Standard 10
Safeguard Company Assets. Company employees should
not use company assets for personal reasons unless they receive specific prior
approval from their supervisor.
Standard 11
Don't Engage in Improper Political Activities.
Because the company's ability to participate in political activities is
constrained by federal, state and local law, all organizational political
activity must be cleared by the company's legal department.
Standard 12
Recognize That the Company's Greatest and Most Valuable
Asset Is Its Workforce. The company is committed to maintaining a safe
and professional working environment for all of its employees and to ensuring
that all employees are treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
