To perform our jobs, we need access to appropriate resources, such as computers, cell phones, equipment, plants, and other Company property. These resources may be used only for Company-authorized activities and may not be used for personal gain. We have a duty to protect these assets from loss, damage, theft, misuse, and waste.

What are company resources?

Company resources include physical and intangible assets. Physical assets include items such as materials, supplies, computers, and equipment; while intangible assets include information, brand protection, employee time and talents, confidential information, and other intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business and marketing plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records, and any nonpublic financial data or reports.

What is expected of you?

  • Act appropriately and responsibly with Company resources, including your own time and the time of others.
  • Never use, take, or permit others to use or take, Company property and resources, including information contained in printed or electronic format, on portable memory devices or on other electronic storage devices or cloud storage, for personal or non-company purposes whether at the office (in or out of working hours), or at any other location.
  • Properly store all confidential information when not in use.
  • Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be reported for investigation immediately.
