Leading with Integrity requires understanding your responsibilities under
the Standards and taking appropriate action when needed. Following are
some tips on how to apply the Standards in any work situation.
KNOW AND LIVE THE STANDARDS.
You can serve as a role model by
knowing the laws, regulations and Company policies that are summarized
in the Standards and living them every day.
KNOW THE LAW AND ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS.You are expected to
be familiar with the laws, regulations and Company policies that apply to
your specific job function and level of responsibility. If you are not sure
whether a law or policy applies, or whether it exists at all, ask.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.Do not assume that "management
already knows" or "management doesn't want to hear bad news." Do
not assume that no action will be taken, or that you will be penalized for
taking action. Management is dedicated to ensuring that the
Standards
are upheld. We want you to tell us if something is wrong.
DON'T IGNORE VIOLATIONS.We all need to take the law and
Company policies that are summarized in the Standards seriously. If you
think someone may be violating laws or the Standards, please take steps
to address the situation.
HELP IMPROVE CONTROLS AND PROCESSES.Some violations can
happen, or can go undetected, because of weakness in an existing control
or process. In these situations, do not hesitate to suggest improvements.
DON'T BE PRESSURED.You are never expected to violate a law,
regulation or Company policy nor should you ever feel encouraged or
pressured to do so - even if the violation will improve the bottom line or
help meet a performance goal.
