28 The Way We Do Business: Within the Company External Communications The way in which the Company presents itself in the marketplace is critical to the success of the organization. The goal of any external interaction is to present a favorable and truthful image of the Company and its products or services to potential and actual customers and to consumers at large. A sampling of external communications channels include, but are not limited to: • Personal interactions and business meetings • Media and government relations • Marketing and promotional materials • Advertising • Speeches and presentations • Internet and email Mass Communications Channels In communications that reach a mass audience, including marketing or promotional materials, Company internets, advertising, sales promotions and the like, the Company’s messaging and brand or corporate image is highly controlled by the local or corporate Marketing and/or Communications teams. If you are developing or considering the development of materials for a mass audience, you should consult these teams first to review and approve all final materials to ensure that the Company’s messaging and brand image are reflected appropriately. Personal Communications Personal communications, such as face-to-face business meetings, business letters, customer presentations and emails must reflect the Company’s messaging and brand image. If you are responsible for external communications, it is your responsibility to be familiar with the overall tone, style and image of the Company’s brand or corporate image. If you are unclear, please consult your local Marketing or Communications team. Speeches and Presentations From time to time you may be invited to speak or present on behalf of the Company at a local or international conference or event. If so, review the invitation with your supervisor to determine if it would be beneficial for the Company to participate and that you are the appropriate person to present the subject matter. All speeches and presentations developed for external audiences must be reviewed and approved by your local Communications or senior management team prior to delivery to ensure there is no disclosure of non-public information. Question or concern? Talk to your local Human Resources team or email codeconnection@mccain.com.
The Way We Do Business: Within the Company You must not accept payment for speeches or presentations that have been authorized by the Company and have been determined to be in the Company’s best interest. Reimbursement for travel, accommodations and/or meals is permissible with written approval from your manager. Media & Government Relations McCain Foods has authorized individuals available to speak to and manage inquiries from the media, as well as approach the government on identified issues. This may be your local Communications or Government Relations team, a representative from senior management or the Company’s Global Communications team, which is responsible for inquiries of an international nature or to assist the regions where required. Only authorized spokespeople may respond to media inquiries or approach the government. If you are not the authorized spokesperson, you must not respond to any media inquiry or offer any information to a member of the media, unless specifically requested to do so by the authorized spokesperson. All media inquiries must be immediately referred to your local spokesperson. If you are uncertain who the authorized spokesperson is for your region, consult your supervisor or contact Global Communications.
