An Ethics Program

An Ethics Program for Company X
The ethics policies of Company X are based on the company’s corporate values. These values include:
Our People - We understand that our people are our most important resource.
Respect - We approach each other with deference and forethought.
Integrity - We are straightforward and ethical.
Trust - We have trust in the dependability of others to make the right decisions.
Stakeholder Focus - Our stakeholders’ interests are at the center of all we do.

Part A: Standards & Procedures
Company X requires that all directors, officers, employees and affiliates abide by the fundamental principles of our Code of Conduct listed here while performing their duties. Violations of these policies will result in disciplinary actions

b.) Truth in Reporting – Students learn about the importance of integrity, accuracy and transparency when reporting financial records and collecting business data from both ethical and legal perspectives.
c.) Conflicts of Interests – Employees are shown what constitutes conflicts of interests and how to avoid them.
d.) Security of Assets – Instructors take workers through asset security methods and facility access authorization procedures.
e.) Information Security - Class participants learn about the importance of safeguarding company information and the secure use of electronic communications.
4) In addition to the annual instructor led training, directors, managers and team leaders are required to spend at least 30 minutes each month exploring ethical dilemmas and scenarios with their reports, preferably during the monthly operations

However in order to insure our ethics program remains relevant and effective, we undergo a thorough evaluation of our company's ethics program and performance using cyclical, comprehensive and documented measurements of compliance. This process aids our company in identifying not only the validity of our current polices and standards but also areas of risk.
The audit of our ethics program is executed by the Ethics Oversight Committee (EOC), which is comprised of ethics officers, managers and at least one external auditor. This committee is appointed and approved by our board of directors. While the audit is completed annually, additional audits can be scheduled by the EOC at will. The methods used by the EOC for program review and evaluation include but are not limited to:
1) Collecting and evaluating relevant reports and data pertaining to our values and code of conduct statements, including incident accounts, training examination results and employee survey
