Code of Business Conduct
Standard 10
Safeguard Company Assets. Company employees should not use company assets for
personal reasons unless they receive specific prior approval from their supervisor.
In general, company assets should be used for business purposes only. For this
reason, you may not use company assets for personal financial gain unrelated to
company business. Company assets include your time, along with items such as office
supplies, computer equipment, telephone equipment, copying machines and computer
software.
The company's electronic mail system is the property of the company and should
be used for company business purposes. Except for incidental personal use allowed
under the limited circumstances and restrictions set forth in the company's written
electronic mail policy, the electronic mail system should not be used to send messages
of a personal nature and should not be used to conduct business other than company
business. Employees should review and follow the specific guidelines and requirements
of the company's written electronic mail policy, so as to conduct electronic mail
communications in the same professional and respectful manner as all other internal
or external plan communications among employees and with customers and the public.
The company may monitor employees' use of the electronic mail system on an "as needed"
basis in a manner consistent with applicable state and federal law as more
specifically provided in our separate e-mail policy. Any such monitoring will only be
conducted by company authorized personnel in order to protect the company's legitimate
business interests. By using the company's electronic mail system, all employees
consent to this monitoring at the discretion of the company.
