Our Commitment to the Company

Our Commitment to the CompanyWe recognize the trust and confidence placed in us by Newmont and must act with integrity and honesty in all situations to preserve that trust and confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fraudulent or Dishonest Conduct

Under no circumstances will we offer any false, fictitious or fraudulent information, report or claim to another person, or take unfair advantage of anyone through inappropriate manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other similar practice. Any use of fraudulent or illegal tactics, including trespass on lands owned by others or the offering of bribes, is also prohibited. Participation in any such activity will subject you to discipline, up to and including termination of employment, and all such activity must be reported to the legal department or the internal audit department.

 

Communications

We will communicate with each other in a respectful, honest and transparent manner in accordance with our values. We will comply with our legal obligations to keep shareholders, creditors, securities trading markets, suppliers and other stakeholders informed on a timely basis through regular public releases of relevant and understandable financial and other information about Newmont.

The publication or circulation, either internally or externally, of any oral or written statement that is false, malicious or defamatory of any other person or company is prohibited.

Further, Newmont is committed to treating personnel records and medical files with the same respect and confidentiality given to the company's records. Newmont will only collect, use and disclose employee information on a business need-to-know basis in conformance with applicable regulations or when required by law or court order. This policy also applies to former employees' information.

Newmont has issued and will issue, from time to time, other policies with regard to communications, including the use of Newmont's electronic communications systems.
As employees, officers and directors, we are expected to be familiar with and observe all
such policies.

 

 

 

Authority to Act on Newmont’s Behalf

Everyone has limitations on what he or she can do on behalf of Newmont. Most of these limitations are either limitations on binding the company or limitations on spending company funds. In short, we must not execute any contract or agreement on behalf of Newmont unless we are authorized by law to do so. (Typically, you must be an officer of the Newmont entity that is a party to that contract or agreement or hold a written power of attorney from an officer.) Also, we must not approve transactions or make commitments for Newmont funds unless the dollar amounts we are committing are within our authorized approval level, as specified in the executive authorities. If you need to clarify yours or another individual's authority to sign contracts or agreements or to commit Newmont funds, you should contact the legal department.

 

Auditors’ Independence

On a regular basis, outside auditors will review Newmont's financial information. We cannot take any action intended to improperly influence Newmont's auditors or the conduct of their audits.
