We Work with Governments Responsibly
In this section, we'll cover:
Our Commitment
We must take care in our business dealings with others to communicate accurate and complete information. However, it is even more critical when dealing with government customers. Misleading or inaccurate information communicated to government customers could result in severe legal action and even criminal prosecution.
Why It’s Important
Special legal and contracting rules often apply to our dealings with governments to ensure that public funds are being used properly. These include bidding or procurement requirements, special billing and accounting rules, and restrictions on subcontractors or agents we may engage (also see We Follow Our Gifts and Entertainment Guidelines). We do the right thing by always following these procedures.
How We Do the Right Thing
-
Dealing with Governments
If you deal with domestic or foreign governments, know the laws that are applicable to these business activities and use sound judgment to avoid violations of the letter or spirit of the laws. Contact the Global Ethics and Compliance Team if you have any questions.
-
Don't Pursue
Do not pursue government business without first talking to the Legal Department or the Global Ethics and Compliance Team.
-
Read & Comply
Read and comply with the Jabil Defense and Aerospace Services policy if you work with the U.S. government.
Cooperating with Government Inquiries
Notify the Legal Department whenever there is a non-routine government request for information or visits. Cooperate with government authorities in connection with requests for information or inspections. When responding to a government request, tell the truth. Never mislead anyone, impede their work, or conceal, destroy or alter documents.
