9. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interests cover all circumstances that would cast doubt upon our ability to act
with objectivity and independent business judgement in pursuing the Company’s best
interests. We each have a responsibility to the Company and its interests and it is vital
that we do not misuse our position at work or the information we gather in the course
of our duties to further our personal interests – or those of any one else. It is also vital
that customers or the general public see the Company acting purely professionally in its
dealings with people who are closely connected to members of staff.

While the Company respects the right of every one of us to form friendships and personal
relationship at work, there will be occasions when it will be appropriate to tell your
manager of any relationship that may have an impact on your work. This is particularly
important where the personal relationship could compromise you or create a conflict of
interests.

Do:
• Avoid situations in which your personal interests, including financial interests, conflict,
or even appear to conflict, with the interests of the Company.
• Ensure that all financial, business or personal activities that you engage in outside the
scope of your employment are lawful and free of conflicts with your responsibilities.
• Be aware that a conflict of interests may exist even if you do not directly benefit from
it.
• Avoid any potential conflict of interests, or the appearance of such conflict, that may
arise from your involvement in recruitment and selection activities.
• Refrain from outside employment or personal business enterprise that present an
actual or perceived conflict with the Company’s legitimate business interests.
• Be aware that some voluntary professional, civic, charitable or educational activities
may conflict with the Company’s interests and discuss these with your manager.
• Disclose promptly any potential conflict of interests to your manager.
