CONFLICT
OF INTERESTS
PURPOSE:
To state RTI's policy concerning conflict of interest situations. To define
the conditions in which employees who participate or engage in business activities
outside their RTI International Metals, Inc. employment, will disclose a possible
exposure to dual interests and/or if not so involved, will submit a statement
of disclosure to this effect.
1.0 STATEMENT OF
POLICY:
1.1 It is the policy of RTI International
Metals, Inc. that its officers and key employees should always conduct themselves
in their business associations and relationships in a fair and honest manner
and their actions should not be a discredit to either RTI or to themselves
as individuals.
1.2 There should
be no conflict of interests arising between the employee's personal and managerial
actions.
2.0 CONDITION OF
EMPLOYMENT:
2.1 RTI expects as a condition
of employment that each employee will protect corporate information, avoid
undue outside influence upon decisions or actions in the performance of
their work and avoid situations which deprive RTI of the full measure of
working time, attention to assigned duties, and loyalty.
2.2 Accordingly, RTI reserves
the right to review and pass upon any outside business activities of its
employees, other than investments in stocks and securities that are publicly
traded, and under the conditions that such participation would not involve
a possible dual relationship or conflict of interests.
3.0 CONFLICT OF
INTERESTS SITUATIONS:
3.1 A conflict of interest between
RTI and its employees will exist under the situations outlined below:
3.1.1 Be employed by another
firm while in the employment of RTI, particularly if the firm is a competitor,
customer or a supplier (or one that may become a competitor, customer
or a supplier in the foreseeable future)
3.1.2 Hold substantial financial
interest in, or be engaged in the management of, a firm which provides
vendor services, or supplies materials or equipment to RTI, or a firm
to which RTI makes sales.
3.1.3 Speculate or deal in
materials, equipment, supplies or property purchased by RTI or speculate
or deal for their own account in products sold by RTI.
3.1.4 Borrow money from customers
or from individuals or firms from which RTI buys services, materials,
equipment, or with whom RTI does business.
3.1.5 Give or accept gifts
or favors involving an outside company, organization or agency which are
substantial enough to cause undue influence in the selection of goods
or services for RTI. Gifts or entertainment must be of no more than nominal
value.
3.1.6 Participate in civic,
professional or other such organizational activities in a manner whereby
confidential RTI information may be divulged.
3.1.7 Use confidential
information obtained during employment for personal gain or benefit or the
gain or benefit of a family member, business associate or acquaintance.
4.0 MEMORANDUM
OF DISCLOSURE:
4.1 It is the responsibility
of each key employee to submit a statement of disclosure relating to a conflict
of interest situation.
4.2 In the event changing circumstances
alter the original statement of disclosure, the employee will immediately
notify the Office of the General Counsel to maintain outside activity information
on a current basis.
4.3 The formal statement of disclosure
will generally follow the suggested format indicated in Exhibit A of this
practice.
