应当记住的10条原则

 

1.         There is no right way to do a wrong thing.

        作错事是没有正确的方法

          Don’t try to justify the inexcusable--if it is wrong, it’s wrong!

    不要试图辩解—错就是错了

 

        

                  

2.         Local culture is not an excuse for bad practice.

        地方文化不是不好作法的借口

          For example, facilitation payments may be common locally, but these are a form of corruption and often despised by the local population.

例如”好处费”可能是通常的地方作法, 但是这些是腐败的一种形式,通常会受当地群众的鄙视.

 

        

                  

3.                      There's no such thing as a free lunch--be cautious in offering and accepting gifts and entertainment.

没有免费的午餐---收受礼品/招待是要当心

        

          Ask yourself WHY the gift or entertainment is being offered. It is acceptable, however, to exchange nominal gifts or provide reasonable entertainment in order to build and reinforce business relationships.

问问自己为什么要提供礼品/招待. 但为了建立或加强业务的关系,交换名义上的礼品或提供适当的招待是允许的.

 

 

        

                  

4.         KNOWLES's reputation is only as good as its weakest link.

        

          Help others understand our policy commitments and expectations. Do your part to foster an environment where ethical dilemmas are openly discussed and debated.

 

 

        

                  

5.         Complying with the law may not be enough to meet our business standards.

        合法并不意味着符合我们的业务标准

          KNOWLES often sets the ethical bar higher than simply what the law may allow.

 

 

        

                  

6.         Talking to other people is the best way to resolve a dilemma.

        和他人交流是解决两难问题的最好方法

          Better discussions provide different perspectives, which ultimately make for better ethical decisions.

 

 

        

                  

7.         Our business partners are a reflection of KNOWLES's values--choose them carefully.

        

          Companies, like individuals, are judged by the company they keep--so select business partners wisely!

 

 

        

                  

8.         Ask yourself if you're happy to publish your decision in the newspaper.

        问一下自己是否你很

          This quick test is a great check to determine if your actions are appropriate.

 

 

        

                  

9.         Don't mix personal interests with business decisions.

        不要混淆个人利益与业务决定的关系

          Conflicts of interest damage reputation. Disclose all real or perceived conflicts between your personal interests and your job responsibilities to your management.

 

 

        

                  

10.         Just because you've always done it, it doesn't necessarily mean it's right.

        只是因为你一直这么做,那不是意味着就是对的.

          Not all practices that have withstood the test of time will also withstand the test of ethical scrutiny which is becoming more rigorous over time. Keep your perspectives fresh and your ethical awareness evolving.
