The key to success in any organization is trust—trust between management and employees, trust among employees, and trust between our company and its customers. That’s why conflicts of interest are such a serious matter. They can erode trust and damage relationships.

A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which an individual or organization is faced with the potential for a clash between personal interests and professional responsibilities. Everyone has different priorities and interests, but when they come into conflict, it can be difficult to make impartial decisions.
