Every employee should deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers and competitors.

    Certain methods of collecting information about competitors and those with whom we do business are clearly illegal (including theft, blackmail, wiretapping, bribery, trespassing, industrial espionage or receipt of stolen property). Other methods of collecting information, however, while perhaps not unlawful, are nonetheless prohibited by the Company because they are improper and wrong. They include, but are not limited to:

    Misrepresenting facts, employee identity or Company affiliation; and


    Asking or inducing others to disclose confidential information of a current or previous employer without the consent, knowledge or acquiescence of the employer.

    We seek to foster business based on synergy, which requires the free exchange of information throughout the Company. However, employees who have access to confidential information disclosed to them by a business, customer or vendor should not disclose such information to others outside the Company, or even within the Company, if it would violate any confidentiality
