Conflict of Interest Policy

Sundance Research Institute, Inc. (“Sundance”) respects the right of employees to engage in private activities and personal business outside of their employment with the company, providing such activities do not conflict with the company’s interests or interfere with the employee’s job performance.

In general, a conflict of interest is defined as an employee activity inconsistent with recognized ethical and legal standards, or which is competitive with or undermines the company’s business or charitable goals. It may also be an activity that deprives Sundance of the maximum efficiency of its employees with respect to their jobs, the company, and company policies.

Employees at all levels have a duty and an obligation to Sundance to be entirely free from any conflict of interest. Some particular situations where conflicts of interest are most likely to arise are in relationships with contractors or competitors of Sundance; acceptance of loans, excessive entertainment, business gifts, or favors from any party that may supply or seek to supply goods and services to Sundance or otherwise use Sundance for any unlawful purpose; disclosure of proprietary or other confidential information; and the use of the assets and resources of Sundance for personal convenience or profit.
