Consolidated Communications is committed to the highest standards of legal and ethical business conduct. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics summarizes the legal, ethical and regulatory standards we follow and is a reminder to our directors, officers, employees and vendors of our obligation to uphold this commitment.
We have built our business based on excellence in services and products. We provide quality services and products for our customers, and our employees and representatives adhere to the highest standards of honesty, ethics and fairness in their business dealings.
We place the highest value on the integrity of our directors, officers and employees and demand the same level of integrity in all business transactions. We insist on ethical dealings with others and on the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest within personal and professional relationships.
When an ethical issue or concern needs to be addressed with a supervisor, we attempt to foster a work environment where these discussions can take place without the fear of retribution and also provide a system of reporting and access for anyone who wishes to report a suspected violation.
Directors, officers and employees are required to deal honestly and fairly with our customers, collaborators, competitors and third parties. In our dealings with customers and suppliers, we prohibit making or receiving bribes, kickbacks or any other improper payment, direct or indirect, to any representative of government, labor union, customer or supplier in order to obtain a contract, commercial benefit or government action.
