This month we are focusing on Conflicts of Interest. We are trusted to always act in the Company’s best interest and avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest.
When an employee’s interests and relationships outside of work conflict or appear to conflict with our Republic responsibilities, employees are required to report it promptly and appropriately.
We count on our employees to be transparent and honest with us, and to disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest. In most conflict-of-interest scenarios, we can work with employees to put guardrails in place to mitigate any risks to the Company.
Managers also have a responsibility to disclose conflicts of interest on behalf of their employees as soon as they become apparent. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed to the Ethics & Compliance team so we can work together for the right outcome.
Please make sure you are familiar with our Conflicts of Interest Policy and Procedures, located on Inside Republic Services on SharePoint or reach out to your HR partner or manager for a copy. If you’re not sure if you need to disclose a potential conflict of interest, please email EthicsandCompliance@republicservices.com.
