24 AAR Doing it right for our communities Doing it right for our communities Being good corporate citizens At AAR, we know that running a responsible business is about more than providing high-quality solutions and services. We strive to make a positive impact on the world around us through the work we do each day. AAR believes that Doing It Right is not just about business success—it is also about making the world a better place. How we own it • Work to minimize AAR’s environmental impact and use natural resources wisely by complying with AAR environmental, health and safety policies and procedures. • Do your part to contribute to AAR’s corporate initiatives that are designed to improve our communities by supporting non-profit organizations, particularly those that help veterans or active military members, promote STEM education, encourage health and wellness activities and promote diversity and inclusion. See the Environmental and Health and Safety Program policies for more information. Volunteering and being politically active AAR knows that many of us are deeply committed to improving our communities through volunteering for charitable organizations or political causes, and we are encouraged to do so. However, we may only volunteer on our own time and with our own resources. How we own it • Never give the impression that AAR supports your volunteer work or political cause. • In some cases, you may be able to show AAR’s support or use AAR’s assets for your volunteer or charitable activities, with advance permission from a senior officer. • Be careful that your political involvement does not create a conflict of interest under applicable law or AAR policy. • Be aware of the laws related to lobbying and follow them at all times, if your work involves interacting with government officials. Remember that you are welcome to contribute to the AAR Political Action Committee, which may advocate on AAR’s behalf regarding certain issues or legislation. However, you are not obligated to do so. See the Philanthropic Contributions and Charitable, Personal and other Non-Business Use of Company Assets policy for more information. Adolfo is volunteering for his local state representative’s political campaign. The campaign manager asked Adolfo to print off campaign posters for an upcoming rally. Adolfo doesn’t have a printer at home, so he prints them at AAR’s office. Is he Doing It Right? No, he is not. We should never use AAR’s assets— including office equipment such as printers—to support a volunteer or political cause unless we have permission to do so. Speak to your manager if you have questions about using AAR’s assets appropriately.
