5. Employee activities
5.1. Conflict of interest and personal relationships
5.1.1. Conflict of interest
A conflict of interest exists when an employee or relative is involved in an activity that affects or could potentially appear to affect his/her objectivity as an employee of UNNATIM. Conflict of interest could potentially arise out of an employee’s personal relationship, outside activity or personal trading activity.
A conflict of interest can also arise whenever an activity is opposed to the best interests of UNNATIM, its clients or customers, creates the appearance of impropriety or misconduct or creates divided loyalty between employees and UNNATIM. Each employee should be free from any interest or influence that would make it difficult to give UNNATIM the employee’s best efforts and undivided attention. Employees may not take for themselves or divert to others any business opportunity in which the company has, or can reasonably be expected to have, an interest. Also, a conflict of interest is presumed if work is done for a firm that has business dealings with, or competes with UNNATIM or is otherwise detrimental to the interests of UNNATIM.
Employees are responsible for avoiding activities or relationships that might affect their objectivity in making decisions as a UNNATIM employee. Employees should never permit their personal interests to conflict or appear to conflict with the interest of UNNATIM.
It is not possible to list every situation that could present a potential conflict, but there are certain areas where conflicts typically arise, such as
• An employee’s spouse working in a senior management position with a client company
• An employee or his / her immediate relative [as defined under SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations, 2015)] owning securities in a company in whose assignment he / she is involved in
• An employee who has been employed in the recent past with a company in whose assignment he / she is involved in
• An employee’s relative (as defined under the Companies Act, 2013) working for an entity which is competing with UNNATIM
• An employee’s relative is working in the same organization/business.
All employees shall provide a conflict of interest declaration in the applicable format as per Annexure I. This declaration is to be provided at the time of joining the organization and thereafter on an annual/semi-annual/quarterly basis as applicable for securities holding statement submissions. In addition, employees shall also provide this declaration immediately when such conflicts arise.
5.1.2. Outside business activities
Employees may not generally do any work for other employers or other businesses for honorarium or otherwise as this would conflict with the employee’s obligations to UNNATIM. A conflict arises if outside work consumes an employee's time and energy as to impair the ability to perform their UNNATIM job effectively. Also, a conflict of interest is presumed if an employee does outside work, for a firm that has business dealings with, or that conflicts with his/her scope of work or competes with, UNNATIM. Employees should also avoid any association with third parties that is otherwise detrimental to the interests of UNNATIM.
With regard to outside activities, in general employees may not:
• Take or divert to others any business opportunity in which UNNATIM has, or can reasonably be expected to have, an interest
• Accept a business opportunity from someone who does or seeks to do business with UNNATIM if the offer is made because of your position in UNNATIM
• Allow the activities, or the time spend on them, to interfere with the job performance
• Take a business opportunity that represents an opportunity for UNNATIM
• Engage in a business that competes with business of UNNATIM
• Work for, or serve as, a director, officer of, or advisor to, a competitor
• Directly or indirectly own any interest (more than 1%) in another entity without approval.
Service on the boards of companies as a Director /officer is generally discouraged and is subject to enhanced review. Employees shall not accept position of a Director on any company where there is a conflict of interest with UNNATIM.
Before taking up appointment as a Director on the Board of a company, the employee should take the approval of the Managing Director & CEO. The Managing Director & CEO will take approval of the Board of Directors of UNNATIM before taking up appointment as a Director on the Board of a company. All requests for approval should be made in writing/email. The approval/disapproval shall be granted in writing / email. All the records shall be kept for a minimum period of five years.
In addition to the conflict of interest declaration, the outside business activity shall be subject to review and prior approval from the Compliance department, Human Resources and Senior Director/President in the supervisory chain.
5.1.2.1. Charitable contributions
UNNATIM encourages its employees to become involved with charitable activities or organizations provided it does not interfere with their job at UNNATIM. However, soliciting clients, vendors or other employees for contributions or other participation is generally prohibited or restricted and may depend on any applicable laws governing these activities.
In some cases, clients or vendors may request we make a contribution to a charity or non-profit organization. Charitable contributions may not be given as a condition of or in order to influence a business decision.
Any contribution requested by or that would benefit a government official requires pre-clearance from the Risk & Compliance department.
5.1.2.2. Political activities
UNNATIM respects the employee’s right to engage in personal political activity, but employees have to make sure that the activities are lawful and appropriate and do not involve the use of UNNATIM’s time or resources.
Soliciting clients, vendors and other employees for political contributions is generally prohibited or restricted. Employees shall not use UNNATIM’s name to solicit political contributions or engage in other political activities on behalf of UNNATIM.
Employees may volunteer for a political campaign on their own time in their individual capacity and not as a representative of UNNATIM.
Employees have the right to make personal contributions from your own funds, subject to applicable legal limits and regulatory requirements, but employees cannot be reimbursed or compensated by UNNATIM for any contribution they
make. Because UNNATIM has government entities as customers, certain employees may be subject to additional limitations on their personal political contributions.
These activities/contributions including any lobbying on behalf of UNNATIM shall be subject to review and prior approval from the Compliance department and Senior Director/President in the supervisory chain.
5.1.3. Personal relationships
Personal relationships shall cover relatives as defined under Companies Act, 2013, and also include any romantic, sexual or fiduciary/agent relationship. This applies to employees who are related to, or in personal relationships with, another employee, and also where employees are related to, or in a personal relationship with, UNNATIM consultants/contractors.
Employees are required to disclose any conflict arising out of personal relationships immediately to the Human Resources and Compliance departments, and the Business head in the supervisory chain, for review.
Such employees may not report to each other or work in the same supervisory chain/business that might compromise, or appear to compromise, their independence or evaluations.
5.1.4. Personal Finances
In view of the nature of UNNATIM’s business, any improper handling of employee’s personal finances could undermine the employee’s credibility and that of UNNATIM. It could also cause others to question the employee’s decision-making on the job. Employees have to handle their personal finances responsibly, with integrity, and in compliance with the law.
In general, employees may not participate in any personal financial transaction with fellow employees, customers or suppliers or their representatives including shared investments (unless widely held or as part of a UNNATIM-sponsored, co-investment plan).
Employees may not borrow money from or lend money to or act as guarantor, co-signer or surety for customers, suppliers or other employees. Employees may however borrow, only in emergency situations or involving a family member, from other Employees with intimation to Human Resources.
It is permissible to borrow from or conduct financial dealings2 (such as investing in mutual funds, bonds etc.) with customers in their normal course of business as long as employees are not granted preferential treatment. Consumer credit purchases from a customer or supplier in the normal course of business — again may be made, as long as the customer or supplier is not granting the employees any preferential treatment. In every case, employees have to use good judgment, look at each situation objectively, ensure there is no misuse of their official position and before moving forward, employees should ask themselves how their actions would look to someone outside of UNNATIM.
Note also that you may not participate in gambling or betting of any kind, including office pools, at any UNNATIM location, or use UNNATIM’s resources (such as email, phone and copy machines) in connection with any gambling or betting activity, even if it is legal in the employee’s location.
5.2. Gifts, favors, bribes, etc.
5.2.1. Gifts and favors
No gift or entertainment having more than nominal value extended as a customary courtesy of business life and no loan (other than products offered in the regular course of business) shall be given or accepted from/ by the employee from any person or firm having current or prospective dealings with UNNATIM. Gifts and entertainment must never be extravagant and must always be reasonable in terms of value and frequency and appropriate to the occasion and circumstance and also to the customs of the marketplace and business situation.

5.2.2. Anti-bribery and corruption
Bribery is the act of giving, offering, promising to give, or receiving anything of value – directly or indirectly – with the intent of securing improper help to obtain or retain business, gain a business advantage, or influence a business decision. Corruption is the abuse of a position of trust to gain an undue advantage.
Bribery often involves the transfer of funds, usually disguised as a fee or commission paid through an intermediary and either misidentified on company books or left off altogether, to a person able to affect the outcome of decisions that impact business. Public officials, because of the nature of their position and responsibilities, pose a higher bribery and corruption risk than persons in the private sector. Facilitation payments are typically small payments to public officials in order to secure or expedite routine nondiscretionary government functions.
Employees may be solicited for bribes or compete against businesses that use bribery to secure an advantage – thereby creating the perception that bribery is necessary to achieve a business objective. Furthermore, UNNATIM operates in countries with varying degrees of anti-bribery legislation and enforcement, exposing it and its employees
2 Subject to applicable requirements of Personal Trading Policy
to environments with higher tolerance for bribery and corruption. In those jurisdictions, it is important to be aware of these risks, specifically with regard to state-owned enterprises.
UNNATIM employees may not give or receive anything of value – directly or indirectly – to or from any person, including but not limited to private entities, public officials, government bodies, customers (existing or potential), or third parties, in India or abroad, if it is intended or could reasonably appear as intended for the sake of improperly influencing any business decision or in connection with any activity of UNNATIM. This includes vendors/suppliers. Facilitation payments are also not permitted. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the recipient works in the private or public sectors.
Employees are expected to comply with all applicable laws of anti-bribery and anti-corruption to maintain highest standards of ethical and professional conduct.
