Teradata Corporation Code of Conduct
Reaching Out to the Public
Teradata operates in a highly-competitive marketplace. We must constantly innovate and improve our products and solutions to meet our customers’ needs and keep pace with our competition. Equally important, we must make sure we are holding ourselves to high standards of behavior and remaining authentic and true in our dealings with the public to show the consistency of our brand and our principles.
Keeping Accurate Records
All of us are responsible for ensuring Teradata books and records are complete and accurate. All of our financial entries and records, including travel, entertainment and gift expense reimbursement requests and payments, and procurement, contractor and subcontractor purchase orders, contracts, statements-of-work, entries and payments, and project finances and reporting, must fairly and accurately reflect the true nature, amounts, relevant actual dates, involved parties, and purpose of the spending/transaction or project, as the case may be.
This means we may not establish or use any slush funds, unrecorded pools of money, or unauthorized assets/accounts for bribes, kickbacks, travel, entertainment, gifts, favors, personal items, invoice payments,
discounts, rebates, procurement, contractors, subcontractors, contracts, work orders or any other improper purpose. You must never make false or artificial entries on expense reports, purchase orders, invoices or project reporting methods/tools or any other Teradata books and records.
We need accurate information to make the best and most effective decisions for our business. To fulfill our obligations and to be accountable to customers, associates, business partners, shareholders, and government authorities, we must keep full, fair, accurate, and timely books and records of all business transactions. Accurate records are critical to Teradata fulfilling its financial, legal, and reporting obligations.
All Teradata associates are required to make certain that Teradata’s books and records are accurate. We need to ensure all the reports we make—including the recording of time worked, business expenses incurred, and all other business-related activities—and all receipts and other supporting documentation, dates and information are not falsified, misleading, or forged in any way. You must record and file reports on time and
