Hill-Rom Global Code of Conduct

Hill-Rom Global Code of Conduct 44
Political Activities and Contributions
When appropriate and legal, our company may choose to engage
in political discussions about issues that affect our business and may
make political contributions. We may not engage in political activities
and discussions on behalf of Hill-Rom unless such activities are
authorized by the V.P. of Government Affairs. We may make contributions
to governmental elections only where such contributions are lawful
and in accordance with our Policy on Political Contributions.
Our company recognizes and encourages our individual right to
participate in the communities where we live and work. However,
we may only participate in political activities on our own time and
at our own expense. We may never use or even appear to use
Hill-Rom’s name, time, funds, facilities, assets or other resources,
directly or indirectly, for political purposes or contributions without
express written approval from the V.P. of Government Affairs.
Political Action Committee
Our company has organized the Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. Political
Action Committee (HRPAC). This committee solicits voluntary
contributions from company employees to support candidates
for U.S. federal government, as permitted by law. For additional
information regarding the HRPAC, please contact the V.P. of
Government Affairs.
Community Involvement
Our mission carries a commitment to the communities where we
work and live. Acknowledging social responsibility through active
citizenship and thoughtful giving is part of our unwavering
commitment to our communities.
