BUSINESS ETHICS
The successful business operation and reputation of Diversified is built upon the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct
of our employees. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful observance of the spirit and letter of all

your immediate supervisor or any member of the PeopleTeam for advice and consultation.

or failing to comply with the following list could lead to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment.
