This includes conducting outside business during your Teradata working hours or using Teradata property, equipment, networks, information, or other resources for non-Teradata business uses. Also, serving on the board of another for profit or publicly-traded company can present conflict of interest issues. Teradata associates should raise all new offers of such roles and questions regarding holding major shares in our competitors to their manager and the Teradata Law Department. We can typically address these situations by communicating about the boundaries, expectations, and requirements of the position and the intended extent of the shareholding.

Corporate Opportunities

In some cases, through your position at Teradata, you may become aware of an opportunity to make a purchase or investment in which Teradata might be interested. You must promptly notify your manager of the opportunity to allow Teradata to evaluate it. If Teradata opts not to pursue that opportunity, you must also seek and obtain written approval from your manager and the Teradata Ethics & Compliance Office before you act on it for yourself or refer it to another party.

Handling Conflicts of Interest

Teradata recognizes a conflict of interest may develop without any bad intentions, and changes in circumstances may arise that create a conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interest where none previously existed.

The important thing to remember regarding this subject is as soon as you become aware of a possible conflict of interest situation you must disclose it to your manager. Your manager, working with Teradata Human Resources, the Law Department, and/or the Teradata Ethics & Compliance Office, will determine what must be done to resolve it, or will give you approval to proceed with assurances you will implement proper precautionary actions so a potential conflict of interest will not become an actual one.

Workplace Safety and Health

Teradata strives to provide each associate and business partner with a safe and healthy work environment. We conduct no activity without taking all proper health, safety, and environmental protection precautions.

Teradata is also committed to a drug-free workplace. That means all of us must be free from the influence of drugs and alcohol while conducting business. The use, possession, distribution, or sale of illegal drugs, or the improper use or abuse of prescription or other lawful drugs, on company premises or while on company business is strictly prohibited. Alcohol may be consumed in moderation at certain management-approved, company-sponsored events, but only consistent with the guidelines of the event, and only if the consuming associate accepts full responsibility and accountability for their consumption and conduct and does not operate a motor vehicle while legally impaired.

Violations of our drug and alcohol abuse policy in the workplace will not be tolerated. Teradata has associate support programs in place to assist associates who are dealing with drug or alcohol abuse or addictions. Affected associates are encouraged to use these programs. Information about these services is available through the Teradata Employee Assistance Program.

Teradata associates are expected to treat each other with respect and courtesy. Teradata will not tolerate acts or threats of violence. If you witness actual or threatened violence in the workplace, you should report it immediately to your manager, facilities manager, or Human Resources representative.

Use of Company Assets

Teradata assets—its information, facilities, equipment, networks, materials, property, technology, and reputation—have been acquired through the hard work, achievement, and dedication of our entire team. We all have an interest in the continued success of Teradata, and we all are accountable for that success. We must protect our assets and associated data and personal information from theft, damage, loss, and misuse, and ensure they are used only for Teradata and Teradata-approved purposes.
