Child labor, forced labor, and physical punishment and abuse cannot be tolerated. It is important to treat each other ethically no matter a person's, race, gender, age, or sexual preference. Safety, health, and protection of the environment need to be taken into consideration by following health and safety regulations, helping the environment, complying with laws, and minimizing environmental damage. Legally, it’s important to follow anti-trust, gift, and copyright and intellectual property regulations. Employees must protect confidential information as a responsibility they have to their shareholders.
