another employee reporting or complaining of a violation of this policy shall be subject to immediate disciplinary

Complaints brought under this policy will be promptly investigated and handled with due regard for the privacy and

3.3 Affirmative Action
As a covered federal government contractor or subcontractor, E3 must comply with certain affirmative action efforts
in accordance with 41 C.F.R. § 60-300.44(f)(i)(ii), implementing 38 U.S.C. § 4212, a portion of the Vietnam Era
Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), and 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(f)(i)(ii), implementing Section
503 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Company’s affirmative action efforts related to minorities, women,
protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities are set out and described in the Affirmative Action Plan for
Minorities and Women and the Affirmative Action Plan for Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities. Plans
are updated annually.
E3 is dedicated to taking affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified minorities, women,
protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities. The Company resolves to take voluntary, positive action that
will contribute to furtherance of the spirit and intent of federal, state, and local legislation, government regulations,
and executive orders. For more information, reference the Affirmative Action Program policy.
3.4 Discrimination- and Harassment-Free Workplace
E3 is committed to providing a work environment that is free from discrimination, sexual harassment, and other
types of harassment. As an employee of E3, you are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner and to
show respect to others. E3 will not tolerate discrimination or harassment or intimidation of any kind based on
applicable law.
To reinforce this commitment, we have developed this policy, which includes a reporting procedure for employees
who have been subjected to or witnessed discrimination or harassment. This policy applies to all work-related
settings and activities, whether inside or outside the workplace, and includes business trips and business-related
social events. E3’s property (e.g. telephones, copy machines, facsimile machines, computers, and computer
applications such as e-mail and Internet access) may not be used to engage in conduct that violates this policy. E3’s
policy against harassment covers employees and other individuals who have a relationship with E3, which enables
E3 to exercise some control over the individual’s conduct in places and activities that relate to E3’s work (e.g.
directors, officers, contractors, vendors, and volunteers).
It is the policy of E3 that any discrimination or harassment, including acts creating a hostile work environment or any
other discriminatory acts directed against our employees, shall be subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to
and including termination of employment.
In addition to reviewing this policy, all E3 employees are required to complete the mandatory annual harassment
training provided by E3 Human Resources.
Prohibition of Sexual Harassment
E3’s policy against sexual harassment prohibits sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or other physical or
verbal conduct of a sexual nature, when: (1) submission to such conduct is made an express or implicit condition of
employment; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting
the individual who submits to or rejects such conduct; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably
interfering with an employee’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, humiliating, or offensive
working environment.
While it is not possible to list all of the circumstances which would constitute sexual harassment, the following are
some examples:
