• They must not violate any applicable laws or ethical codes
• They must not harm the company’s reputation if publicly disclosed

2. Gifts, Entertainment & Payments (Received by Employees)

4. Confidential Information

Confidential information must never be disclosed or misused. Any unauthorized sharing of sensitive company data will lead to strict disciplinary action.
