OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS

Government Relations

At Qnity, working with government organizations, officials, and state-owned enterprises requires special care. Every government has its own rules for business. We must always act ethically and follow these rules. Whether we work with government officials in their capacity as customers or regulators, our actions must show Qnity’s commitment to integrity. 

Key Areas of Focus

Interacting with Government Officials
Follow all laws when working with government officials. Even small gifts or meals can be seen as bribes or kickbacks, no matter the intent. Always check with Legal before giving anything of value to government officials.

Government Contracts
Government contracts often have strict rules. These include keeping records of costs, protecting company information, and following rules about gifts and entertainment. Breaking these rules can lead to serious penalties. If you are unsure, ask Legal for help.

Travel for Non-U.S. Government Officials
Qnity may pay for reasonable travel costs for non-U.S. government officials visiting our facilities, but only under certain conditions. These costs must:
  • Be compliant with local laws.
  • Be paid directly to the provider, such as a hotel or restaurant.
  • Relate directly to the visit.
  • Fall within the guidelines of our Gift & Entertainment Policy.
Paying for unrelated travel costs is not allowed.
