The PTRA Employee Code of Conduct defines the ethical and legal standards we expect from our employees when conducting business. This code fosters a standard of conduct that will reflect positively on the company and the individual as well as protect the well-being of PTRA.
Listed below are several components of the code that could impact the relationships between PTRA employees and suppliers.
- Gifts and Business Entertainment
Employees cannot accept anything that might impair, or appear to impair, the employee’s ability to perform company duties or exercise judgment in a fair and unbiased manner.
No employee should enter into a transaction or engage in a practice that would influence him or her to act other than in the best interest of the company.
- Environmental Compliance and Safety
The company is committed to operating in a manner that will protect the environment and human health and safety. Further, PTRA requires employees to take a responsible, safe approach to their duties in safeguarding the public and corporate trust.
- Harassment in the Workplace
PTRA is committed to maintaining a workplace free from harassment. This includes verbal, physical and written conduct.
No purchases are contingent upon the supplier’s patronage of PTRA or the purchase of another product or service.
If a PTRA employee suggests that a supplier may obtain business in return for personal benefit (financial or otherwise) or fails to comply with PTRA’s code, or if you suspect other fraud by an employee or third party, immediately report the incident to the PTRA Director of Human Resources at 713-393-6526 or the PTRA Hotline at 877-217-4675. Callers to the hotline may remain anonymous if desired.
