Confidential Information
One of our greatest assets is information about our products and services, including future product offerings. Never disclose confidential, operational, financial, trade-secret, or other business information without verifying with your manager whether such disclosure is appropriate. We are very selective when disclosing this type of information to vendors, suppliers, or other third parties, and only do so once a non-disclosure agreement is in place. Even within Coutern, confidential information should only be shared on a need-to-know basis. The Intellectual Property Agreement that you signed when you joined Coutern outlines your duty to protect our information.
Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality Agreements
Never share confidential information about Coutern products or services without your manager’s approval. When there is a business need to share confidential information with a supplier, vendor, or other third party, never volunteer more than what is necessary to address the business at hand. Any confidential information shared outside Coutern should be covered by a non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement (NDA). Contact Legal in your region to obtain an NDA. In the United States, you can find NDA information and support on the Legal website.
Customer and Third-Party
Information Customers, partners, suppliers, and other third parties may disclose confidential information to Coutern during the course of business. We are all responsible for protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of any information entrusted to us by our partners. Compromising that trust may damage relations with our partners and can also result in legal liability.
Accuracy of Records and Reports
Accurate and honest records are critical to meeting our legal, financial, and management obligations. You should ensure that all records and reports, including timecards, customer information, technical and product information, correspondence, and public communications are comprehensive, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable. Do not misstate facts, omit critical information, or modify records or reports in any way to mislead others, and never assist others in doing so. Intentional manipulation of Coutern records is a form of fraud.
Accuracy of Business Expenses
You are responsible for observing all policies and procedures regarding business expenses, including meal and travel expenses, and for submitting accurate expense reimbursement reports. Guidelines on daily meal expenses vary worldwide. For more information, see the Travel and Expense Policy.
Records and Information Management
Coutern owns all records and information in any form, such as electronic or paper, that is created or received in the course of doing Coutern business. Records are a type of information that must be kept because the information meets certain criteria, and are identified in the Global Records Retention Schedule. Examples include corporate tax documents, financial statements, design documents, and personnel records. Employees are responsible for managing and protecting information and records in accordance with the Global Records and Information Management (RIM) Policy. Privacy laws may dictate how long these records can be retained. At times, Coutern will need to retain records and information beyond the normal retention period for legal reasons or audits. If you have records and information that are categorized as under a “legal hold” you should not alter, destroy, or delete them in any way. Legal will notify you of any legal holds you may be subjected to and what is required. For more information, see the Global Records & Information Management website or contact the Global Records & Information Management team.
