Standard for Ethical Behaviour in Workplace Solicitations, the Acceptance of Gifts, Hospitality, and/or Other Benefits, and Large Scale Industry Events and Conferences
The practice of soliciting, giving, and receiving donations, prizes, contributions, gifts, hospitality, and/or other benefits dates back centuries and is deeply rooted in human behaviour. The fact that gifts, hospitality, and/or other benefits are offered to produce friendly relations means that employees must be particularly mindful of possible conflict of interest situations and potential repercussions, due to SSC’s mandate and visibility. Employees must also pay particular attention to solicitation activities related to fundraising.
The onus is on the SSC employee to understand the expected behaviour in these situations. This Standard provides the requirements SSC employees must follow when soliciting donations, prizes, or contributions and when accepting gifts, hospitality, and/or other benefits.
