Page 41 - SCG Code of Conduct

Examples
01
You have been assigned to work with information that could affect Company stock prices, but your work does not require that you meet with representatives of securities firms. One day, however, the representative of a securities firm that you have never personally contacted or heard of calls and invites you to dinner without saying why.What should you do?
Advice
Ask what the dinner is for. If the answer is not clear, or if you are not certain, politely refuse, and report to your superior. Avoid meeting with anyone without good cause, as others might interpret such a meeting as indicative of some special relationship.
02
Rumour has it that SCG will invest in a large project that, if successful, will have a huge positive impact on corporate operations. The rumour causes SCG stock prices to rise dramatically. It so happens that SCG does plan to invest in that very project, and is preparing to disclose its details to the public. If you were involved in preparing that disclosure, could you have bought the Company’s stock or sold what you already held?
Advice
You must not buy or sell the Company’s stock during this period, as this constitutes improper use of inside information according to the regulations of SCG, and is regarded as a criminal offence as well.

If you are member of bidding committee and your colleague in your unit asks for information of the bidders, can you give him this information?
Advice
You cannot provide information to people who do not relate to the bidding since the information is intended for use in the bidding only.
