Page 42 - NWF November Updates

OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT: Employees shall not engage in any employment or activity outside

NWF which will materially encroach upon the time or attention that should be devoted to
their duties of NWF or adversely affect the quality of their work on behalf of NWF. Any other

employment shall not compete with NWF's activities, involve any significant use of NWF's
equipment, supplies or facilities, infer NWF's sponsorship or support of the outside
employment of activity; or adversely affect the public image of NWF.

POLITICAL ACTIVITIES: Employees are encouraged to take an active interest and to

participate in the political and governmental process. However, except for registered
lobbyists and other employees authorized to act on behalf of NWF, employees participating
do so as individuals and not as representatives of NWF. To avoid any inference of support or
sponsorship by NWF, an employee must never represent that his or her political donation,
endorsement or other political activity was made or engaged in with the approval, or on the
behalf, of NWF. Likewise, employees must not engage in political activities in the workplace.

THE MAKING OF STATEMENTS: No employee shall use NWF stationery or any title of NWF or
refer to NWF or identify him or herself as an employee thereof in connection with any matter
as to which he or she is not authorized as a representative of NWF and to express an opinion
on its behalf.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS: Some employees must perform their work in accordance with

standards prescribed by an external authority. Just as NWF expects and requires its employees
to act at all times in accordance with applicable laws, it also expects its employees to act in
accordance with the requirements of their profession. Thus, doing so should not create a
conflict of interest. Nevertheless, if adherence to applicable professional standards would or
might reasonably be thought to pose a problem for NWF, the employee shall disclose

this matter.

KNOWLEDGE OF POLICY: Any employee who is aware of a potential conflict of interest should
advise the employee who may have the conflict of interest of the possibility, and recommend
that he or she disclose the potential conflict in accordance with this policy. If an employee
who believes another employee may have a conflict of interest and is uncomfortable raising
this question with the other employee, or the employee who may have the conflict fails to

disclose that as required by this policy, he or she should notify the person who the employee
with the potential conflict should have advised.
