Communicate Accurately to the Public
Our internal and external communications must be honest and accurate.
What we say and how we say it matters. We will win and preserve the trust of our investors and the public only if they know they can rely on what we tell them.
HOW WE DELIVER:
- We make full, accurate and timely financial disclosures in all public statements and the reports and documents we submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
- We listen carefully to feedback and questions from investors and other stakeholders
- We do not speak on behalf of the company on particular issues unless authorized to do so, including lobbying elected or government officials. We direct analyst and media inquiries to Investor Relations or Corporate Communications
- We make sure that any communications about our products and services are honest and accurate
