Conflicts of Interest & Business Ethics

Conflicts of interest can interfere with our commitment to conduct fair and ethical business. We require you to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts between your personal interests and ours. By avoiding conflicts of interest, you help ensure our honesty, integrity, and reputation aren’t compromised. Put simply, conflicts of interest arise when your own personal interests might make it difficult for you to make objective business decisions. Conflicts of interest also exist when a family member’s interests might interfere with your judgment. Though we can’t list every possible conflict of interest, examples include:

Please report any actual or potential conflicts to your supervisor in writing. It’s best to let Virtue decide what constitutes a conflict of interest.

•Personal investments (e.g. with competitors)

•Outside employment, advisory roles, and board seats

•Business opportunities found through your work

•Inventions influenced by your work

•Business opportunities involving friends and relatives

•Acceptance of gifts, entertainment, and other business courtesies
