General Motors Policy on Gifts, Entertainment and Gratuities
As we expand our global footprint, and grow with our best suppliers, it is appropriate to reiterate GM’s long
standing corporate policy on gifts from suppliers.
No General Motors employee and/or family member may accept any gift, entertainment, or other gratuity
from any supplier or bidder, including supplier units which are part of GM. This policy applies to all
employees whether or not they are directly involved in purchasing activities.
We conduct our business on the basis of the superior value of the goods and services we buy and sell. Our
policy on gifts, entertainment and gratuities is designed to preserve and maintain GM’s reputation as a
global enterprise, which acts with integrity and bases purchasing decisions solely on a supplier’s price,
quality, service and innovation.
