Disclosure of Potential Conflicts or Impactful Relationships

DISCLOSURE OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OR IMPACTFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Leaders must disclose any personal relationship, external affiliation, or significant occurrence that could compromise or appear to compromise their ability to make impartial decisions. Examples include but are not limited to:

• Romantic relationships or close friendships with direct reports or with individuals in a position to influence the workplace.
• External business interests or side ventures that may conflict with TOPP KIDS’ objectives.
• Legal matters or investigations that may impede the leader’s capacity to perform their role effectively.
• Personal actions or relationships outside the workplace that could influence workplace dynamics, the company’s reputation, or trust in leadership.

Disclosures should be made promptly to the next level of management or directly to the Executive Team or owner (or via the Confidential Whistleblower Policy if preferred).
