Celonis is committed to protecting and preserving our environment and natural resources and ensuring that the impact we have in our communities is a positive one. We conduct business in a socially responsible and ethical manner that protects the environment in which, our employees, customers, suppliers and other business partners are located, and we are committed to leveraging our products and services, including Process Intelligence, to help our customers transition to a lowcarbon economy. You can do your part by complying with applicable environmental regulations, including but not limited to laws relating to carbon emission reduction, waste disposal, and hazardous materials.
Special laws, regulations and rules regarding ethics and compliance apply to selling to and doing business with government entities. For example, the U.S. False Claims Act imposes liability on any person who submits a claim to the federal government that he or she knows (or should know) is false.
This can include misrepresenting compliance with certain requirements in a contract, so the Commercial Legal Team must approve all bids submitted to, and all agreements with, government entities, even if they are through a third party. In addition, you must not seek or use confidential information, such as sealed competitors’ bids or non-disclosed information about a project, from government officials prior to the award of a contract. When you sell to, or do business with governments, it is critical that you understand and comply with these, as well as related Celonis policies.
If you have any questions about how to appropriately conduct business with a particular government entity, contact legal@celonis.com.
If you participate in political activities as a private citizen, you must make clear that the opinions you express are personal and not representative of Celonis. You must never suggest that Celonis endorses any political cause or candidate without prior approval from the Chief Legal & Trust Officer.
Further, unless explicitly allowed by local law:
Ensure your communication is clear, concise, accurate and professional. Avoid communication that is misleading, offensive, disparaging, or otherwise inappropriate, whether it be via email, meetings, social media platforms, or any other form of communication. At best, poor communication causes confusion. At worst, it has the potential to alienate stakeholders, damage our reputation, and can result in legal consequences.
Communications related to work must only be conducted through Company approved communications systems and channels. Revealing confidential information or engaging in harassing behavior toward coworkers or customers is as unacceptable online as it is in person.
External communications in particular reflect on our brand and reputation. We must ensure that communications about Celonis are correct, consistent, and delivered only by those authorized to speak on behalf of the Company.
Unless you are explicitly authorized to do so, you should not make any public statements on Celonis’ behalf. Always refer inquiries from any media outlet or analyst to press@celonis.com.
Celonis cooperates with government authorities and regulators in
connection with requests for information, audits, or investigations. If you receive any form of request from a government authority, you must immediately notify legal@celonis.com.
Use social media responsibly and exercise good judgment. The messages you post whether directly related to work or not can impact your reputation as well as the reputation of Celonis.
