Corporate Governance
Board Leadership
Our board of directors oversees the exercise of corporate powers and ensures that the Company’s business and affairs are managed to meet its stated goals and objectives and that the long-term interests of the shareholders are served.
Public Policy & Political Engagement
We encourage our Employees to participate in our political system by voting and becoming active in civic and political activities. However, except as specifically permitted by law and expressly authorized by Company Policy, the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer or General Counsel, Employees should not give any direct or indirect contributions, services or other property on behalf of TrueBlue to any candidate for public office, or to any political party or other political organization.
Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest occurs when your private interest interferes in any way – or even appears to interfere – with TrueBlue’s interests. A conflict of interest can arise if you take actions or have interests or relationships that may make it difficult to perform your work objectively and effectively. You should also avoid business relationships with any individual or company that could create the appearance of impropriety or interfere with your ability to perform your work responsibilities.
