It is our policy to maintain the highest standard of ethics in the conduct of our business and relations with whoever we do business with- employees, directors, shareholders, customers associates and suppliers as well as with governments, the media and the public.
Our integrity and reputation for ethical practices are among our most valued assets and are essential elements in our continued quest for sustained profitability. Such integrity and reputation ultimately depend upon the individual actions of our employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents and consultants all over the world. Hence each employee is personally responsible and accountable for compliance with this code. Its provisions are mandatory and full compliance is expected of all employees as a condition of employment.
