It is each employee's responsibility to be familiar with our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and adhere to all Company policies and procedures. Claims of ignorance, good intentions or using poor judgment will not be accepted as excuses for noncompliance. Violations of the law or Company policies and procedures will result in disciplinary action, from warnings or reprimands up to and including termination of employment. Maintaining ethical standards is in everyone's interest. If you know of a problem, you cannot remain silent.
Supervisors are responsible for the actions of their employees.
Supervisors have a special responsibility to create and sustain a work environment in which employees know that ethical and legal behavior is expected of them. Supervisors will be held accountable for making sure that their employees understand and apply the ethical standards set out in the Code. To do so, Supervisors must listen to their employees and act on their concerns. Leadership requires setting a personal example of high ethical standards in the performance of your job.
