exists.
➢ Employees should be courteous and respectful to a customer or any member of the public
while in the course and scope of Mission business. Prohibited activity also includes any
illegal acts in restraint of trade.

➢ Employees who have access to confidential information are expected to safeguard it and
accept responsibility for its security and proper use. All documents, materials and data
received in connection with employment at Mission must be returned to Mission upon
termination of employment without any copies thereof being retained by any former
employee. Employees may not accept any employment relationships with any organization

engaging in any activity, transaction or relationship that might give rise to a conflict of interest.
