With the understanding that how Acxiom does business and treats others will define Acxiom to the rest of the world, Acxiom has always sought to hire and employ professional, competent people who will make the right decisions in difficult situations. Acxiom associates are expected to behave honestly and with integrity in all of their business practices. Acxiom associates share a responsibility to fulfill their commitments to each other, clients, vendors, and Acxiom and to do so with integrity. By doing so, associates can help shape Acxiom's reputation in a favorable way.
Acxiom's commitment to doing the right things for the right reasons remains constant. It is the cornerstone of an associate's success as an individual and as part of the company. It is Acxiom's policy to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its business around the world, and beyond this, to act in an honest and ethical manner at all times. Associates must NEVER "assume" or "read between the lines" that Acxiom wants them to violate the law or to act unethically in their work. The best thing associates can do when faced with an ethical situation is to ASK for help.
These Guidelines to Business Ethics set forth the principles for identifying ethical situations and the procedure for reviewing and addressing those prospective situations to insure that they do not improperly affect Acxiom business. Associates are expected to become familiar with the contents of the Guidelines and use them as a roadmap when they are unsure what decision or action is appropriate. Policies referenced throughout the Guidelines can generally be found in the Associate Support Book (ASB) and should be reviewed for further information and clarification.
