Code of Business Conduct
Standard 10
Safeguard Company Assets. Company employees should not use company assets for
personal reasons unless they receive specific prior approval from their
supervisor.
In general, company assets should be used for business purposes only. For this
reason, you may not use company assets for personal financial gain unrelated to
company business. Company assets include your time, along with items such as
office supplies, computer equipment, telephone equipment, copying machines and
computer software.
The company's electronic mail system is the property of the company and should
be used for company business purposes. Except for incidental personal use
allowed under the limited circumstances and restrictions set forth in the
company's written electronic mail policy, the electronic mail system should not
be used to send messages of a personal nature and should not be used to conduct
business other than company business. Employees should review and follow the
specific guidelines and requirements of the company's written electronic mail
policy, so as to conduct electronic mail communications in the same
professional and respectful manner as all other internal or external plan
communications among employees and with customers and the public.
The company may monitor employees' use of the electronic mail system on an "as
needed" basis in a manner consistent with applicable state and federal law as
more specifically provided in our separate e-mail policy. Any such monitoring
will only be conducted by company authorized personnel in order to protect the
company's legitimate business interests. By using the company's electronic mail
system, all employees consent to this monitoring at the discretion of the
company.
