Conflicts of Interest

Employees are encouraged to avoid and disclose any conflicts of interest that may arise. This includes business connections, former or future employers, and relationships with spouses, partners, children, or family trusts. No employee shall use insider information for personal gain or for the benefit of others.

Disclosure of Concerns

We foster a work environment where employees feel empowered to raise concerns without fear of reprisal.
