Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery
No employee, officer, manager or director will make, or cause to be
made, any improper payment or offer any improper inducement to any
actual or potential customer or to an intermediary as a bribe, kickback or
similar payment that is directly or indirectly for the benefit of any individual
(including any government official), company or organization in any country,
and which is designed, directly or indirectly, to secure favored treatment for
the Company.
Under laws in a number of jurisdictions, it is a crime, punishable by
imprisonment and substantial fines, to make payments of this kind to
government officials, including under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act and the U.K. Bribery Act. The Company will adhere to the letter and
spirit of such laws, and its policy is broader in scope and is intended to
apply regardless of whether the payment or use is lawful under the laws
of a particular country. It is important that any questions about this policy
be discussed with the Company’s Legal Department before any payment
is made that may be viewed as a possible violation of this policy.
In some cases, payments to facilitate routine transactions that are
regular practice and required according to a law may be acceptable. Before
these “facilitation payments” are made or agreed upon, employees must
consult with the Company’s Legal Department to ensure that the payments
are permissible.
