4. SOFTWARE, E-MAIL, SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET
Information Technology (IT) systems, including hardware, software and the information they process and store are critical to Freudenberg operations. They are company property, and as such may be used in principle for Freudenberg business purposes only. Those with access to Freudenberg IT systems, including those with temporary access, must use the system appropriately and at the same time adhere to our existing Freudenberg and Business Group IT security policies.
The increased and widespread usage of social media, to the extent permitted, must not interfere with our principal
policy to secure proprietary information and safeguard the reputation of our company.
When using the company e-mail account each associate is required to respect the integrity of colleagues and third party business partners. Diligence and care need to be exercised in order not to contribute to or cause any mate- rial adverse effect for the company.
