You are required to obey all local laws and regulations. We endeavor to maintain appropriate levels of legal awareness to protect KPC’s interests and those of our employees by anticipating the legal requirements that may arise from new laws and regulations, new business endeavors or modifications of existing business arrangements.

You are responsible for reporting any occurrences or circumstances that may have legal implications for KPC.

You are also required to obey the laws of other countries when traveling on business trips or training courses.

We are committed to providing a safe, healthy, productive and comfortable working environment. Accordingly, you are expected to be in suitable mental and physical condition while at work for effective and safe performance of your duties.

Whenever use or abuse of any mood-altering substance (such as alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs) interferes with a safe workplace, appropriate action will be taken. The possession or use of moodaltering, non-prescription substances at the workplace, or coming to work under the influence of such substances, is strictly prohibited, is considered a violation of safe work practices and will be subject to disciplinary action.

Use, possession, transportation or sale of any illegal drugs or other mood-altering, non-prescription substances on KPC-owned or leased business premises is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right, in accordance with the law, to search all persons and their personal effects at any time on KPC property or upon entering KPC premises for any of those items, and to require employees to submit to medical evaluation or testing where cause exists to suspect use of illegal substances.

We recognize that we have an important role to play in the welfare of the society and that we have a responsibility to communicate, participate and cooperate with local authorities and with organizations interested in the welfare of the society. We encourage all our employees to accept this responsibility and take part in discussions and activities designed to solve community problems in the best interest of the society and KPC, but also to ensure that they do not appear to be acting as spokespeople for KPC.

Employees as individual citizens should maintain good relationships with society, including participating effectively in professional societies, licensed charities and community centers.

You have the right to voluntarily participate in the political process. No one at KPC may require you to contribute to, support or oppose any political group or candidate. You may not, however, work on a political campaign activity during official working hours, on KPC-owned or leased property or by using KPC-owned or leased assets such as computers, printers, photocopies, electronic mail and other such assets.
