7. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
The Freudenberg Group does not get involved in political activities or cam- paigning for political parties, candidates or public officials. In accordance with this principle we do not give financial support or make donations to political parties or organizations, candidates or public officials, or their representatives.
This desire on behalf of Freudenberg to remain politically impartial, does not
infringe the rights of associates who may wish to take part in the political process or become involved in commu- nity service, charitable, or other similar non-profit activities. However, any such involvement should be conducted in a legally permissible manner as private citizens, and must not use company time or resources.
8. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, WEAPONRY
The use, sale, distribution or posses- sion of weapons or illegal drugs on company premises or during company times is strictly prohibited and will be the subject of disciplinary action. The consumption of alcohol on company premises is prohibited unless used in defined hospitality areas and in connec-
tion with a company-authorized event. Reporting to work or working while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs (including illegally obtained or improperly used prescription drugs) will not be tolerated. For all business activi- ties taking place off site, the applicable laws must be strictly followed.
