Conflict of Interest Policy

This tool contains two sample policies that can be used by companies to identify and properly address potential conflicts of interest.

In these samples, in the case of a potential corporate opportunity, the responsible executive vice president or the chairperson of the board or committee, as applicable, may, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate whether the transaction or arrangement should remain available for the corporation to pursue on its behalf and any such person or committee should report the results of its investigation to the responsible executive vice president or the board.
