Stormtech Associate Handbook Utah

CODE OF ETHICS

1. PURPOSE The Company is dedicated to maintaining its reputation for integrity and good corporate citizenship and expects all Associates to abide by basic principles of ethical and lawful business conduct. We place the highest value on the integrity of each Associate and Company representative. The Company’s fundamental principle of empowerment, ownership of the job, presumes that an Associate that can reasonably demonstrate that “they did what they did, and took the action they took, because they honestly felt that it was in the best interest of the Company”, can expect 100% support from the Company 100% of the time. Associates of the Company are expected to act consistently in accordance with the Company’s policies, mission, vision, and operating plans. 2. SCOPE This policy applies to all Stormtech Associates working in the State of Utah. 3. POLICY It is impossible in a document of this nature to cover the full spectrum of Associate activities or duties; however, the following are meant to be general guidelines provided to Associates of the Company to enable them to understand the type of conduct considered acceptable in carrying out their duties on behalf of the Company and, conversely, to delineate conduct that is not in the best interest of, or acceptable to, the Company. The Company provides this Code to its Associates to offer guidance in properly recognizing and resolving the legal and ethical issues that they may encounter while conducting the Company’s business or performing their duties. Inevitably, circumstances will arise, which are not covered by these guidelines that may cause Associates to question whether or not a particular activity falls within acceptable behavior. In these circumstances, Associates should discuss their proposed course of conduct with their immediate Manager, an executive of the Company, or the Chief Executive Officer. Any Associate who violates this Code shall be subject to disciplinary measures, which could lead to dismissal and/or to legal action brought against the Associate. The policies in this Code apply to all parts of the Company unless otherwise specifically noted and the Code is not intended to cover and address all Company policies or all applicable laws. The Code serves as the baseline, or a minimum requirement, which must always be followed by all Associates. The Code is to take precedence should there be any contradiction with any other policy and/or practice. The contents of this Code policy supersede and replace any previous Associate or corporate policy. The Company management reserves the right to unilaterally create exceptions to, modify, change, or revoke policies, including this Code, at any time without prior notice by the Company. This Code is complimentary to any legislation that provides greater or additional protection, entitlement and/or benefit to the Company. Human Relations • The Company is committed to Associates treating each other fairly, and to maintaining employment practices based on equal opportunity for all Associates. Associates will respect each other’s privacy and treat each other with dignity and respect irrespective of age, race, color, gender, religion, nationality or any other characteristic enumerated under the Human Rights Code. The Company is committed to providing safe and healthy working conditions and an atmosphere of open communication for all Associates.
