Compliance and Anti-Bribery
At Chevron, we comply fully with laws and regulations in all countries we do business in. We expect our suppliers and contractors to conduct their business in compliance with these requirements as well.
Bribery of any government official in any country is strictly against company policy, even if the refusal to make such a payment would result in the loss of a business opportunity. Chevron complies with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other applicable international anti-corruption laws. We expect our suppliers and contractors to do the same.
Conflict of Interest
We expect our employees, customers, suppliers and contractors to avoid conflicts of interest in all business decisions. All business decisions should be impartial and based on sound business reasoning.
To avoid a conflict of interest, our employees and directors are prohibited from giving or receiving gifts or entertainment of anything more than nominal value, or cash in any amount.
Accordingly, we require our suppliers and contractors to refrain from giving to or receiving from any Chevron employee or director any gift, entertainment or other favor of more than nominal value, including any commission, fee or rebate.
Suppliers and contractors are also prohibited from entering into any business relationship with any employee, director of Chevron, or their companies, without prior written consent from Chevron.
Harassment and Workplace Violence
Chevron prohibits any form of harassment in any Company workplace by or toward employees, contractors, subcontractors or suppliers. It is Chevron’s policy to provide a workplace free of acts or threats of harassment and violence. Harassment is any inappropriate conduct that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile of offensive work environment, unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or affecting their employment opportunity. Acts of violence or threats of violence cover the more extreme forms of physical harassment, such as hitting, punching, fighting, and physical attacks. Such workplace violence of any kind is prohibited and will not be tolerated.
