We follow the law
Insider trading laws
Your job at Cox may bring you into contact with material, nonpublic (or “inside”) information about our company or one of our clients, vendors, subcontractors, business partners, or competitors.
If so, you cannot use that inside information to buy or sell stock or securities, or to engage in any other action to take advantage of that inside information. Passing along inside information to friends, family, or anyone outside the company is called “tipping,” and is also considered a form of insider trading.
WHAT’S “MATERIAL, NONPUBLIC (OR ‘INSIDE’) INFORMATION”?
It’s information that hasn’t been shared with investors or the public but might be important in deciding to buy, sell, or hold stock in a company. It could include things like budgets, sales or marketing forecasts, or information about gaining or losing a major client or supplier.
Live it!
Speak Up if you see or suspect an act of bribery or corrupt business practice. Don’t trade based on “inside” information.
TRADE COMPLIANCE LAWS
For our businesses that serve clients and maintain business relationships around the world, we are committed to following trade compliance laws in the countries where we operate. Because our products and services move internationally, they are subject to several import and export laws. These laws regulate where and with whom we can do business. Violations of an import or export law, regulation, or restriction could have serious consequences for our company.
If your duties involve the movement of products or services across international borders, it is your responsibility to:
Understand — and comply with — the import and export laws, regulations, and restrictions in the countries where you work.
Refrain from transacting business with countries that are subject to U.S. or other countries trade embargoes or economic sanctions, or with individuals or entities owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries.
Contact your Compliance Team for guidance anytime you see a counterparty request or a requirement, as part of any business transaction, that Cox boycott or agree to boycott any person, entity, or country.
Seek help if you have questions.
