Political Activities
Qnity respects the political rights of individuals while ensuring strict compliance with laws governing political contributions and activities. These laws vary by country, and violations can result in serious penalties.
Guidelines for Political Contributions
- Company resources, funds, and locations must not be used for political contributions or activities without approval from Qnity Government Affairs and Legal.
- United States law may prohibit Qnity from making political contributions in or participating in other political activities in certain countries. Always check with Legal before engaging in political activities on behalf of Qnity.
- Employees may make personal contributions to political parties, committees, or candidates, provided no company resources are involved.
No one at Qnity should pressure others to contribute money or effort to support any political party or candidate.
Communicating with Government Officials
When interacting with government officials on matters of policy:
- Consult Government Affairs or Legal beforehand to determine if you must register as a political advocate or “lobbyist.”
- Be aware that “political advocacy” may include almost any business-related communication with government officials.
- Report interactions with government officials as required by law.
Use of company locations for political speeches or events must also be approved by Government Affairs and Legal, as such use may be considered a political contribution.
