This Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is a guide to making the best possible decision in situations affecting your fellow employees or our shareholders, customers, and partners, as well as the communities in which we live and work. In simple terms,  our Code contains the guidelines we must all follow to do business

Things to Note:


  • Letter forged as "from the President."
  • Email delivers a very simple PDF which has one purpose - a link to a login page.
  • Login page WILL deliver an innocuous PDF of  a "code of ethics."
  • Anyone who filled in the form should immediately change their password.
