Honest and Ethical Conduct

Barkera excels through passion, dedication, and hard work, not unethical or illegal business practices. You must act with integrity and observe the highest ethical standards of business conduct in your dealings with the Company’s customers, suppliers, business partners, service providers, stakeholders, contractors, volunteers, and interns, (“stakeholders”), as well as competitors and anyone else with whom you have contact in the course of performing your job.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

The Company is committed to conducting business affairs with honesty and integrity and in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, as well as our internal policies and procedures. You are expected to comply with and use good judgment and common sense in seeking to comply with, all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, in addition to our policies and procedures. Even if your conduct complies with the letter of the law or our policies, you must further avoid conduct that will have an adverse impact on the trust and confidence of the Company’s stakeholders.

Conflicts of Interest

You must act in the best interest of the Company, and refrain from engaging in any activity or having a personal interest that presents a “conflict of interest”. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a person’s private interest interferes with the interest of the Company. A conflict of interest can arise when you take action or have an interest that may make it difficult for you to perform your work on behalf of the Company objectively and effectively. Although it is not possible to describe every situation in which a conflict of interest may arise, the following are examples of situations which may constitute a conflict of interest:

holding a position as a director, officer, employee or consultant of any business enterprise that does business or competes with the Company;
holding an investment in any business enterprise that does business or competes with the Company, other than holding a direct interest of less than 1% in the stock of a publicly traded company; or
receiving something of material value from a competitor or stakeholder beyond entertainment or nominal gifts in the ordinary course of business, such as a meal or logo wear.
Evaluating whether a conflict of interest exists can be difficult and may involve several considerations. You are encouraged to seek guidance from your management when you have questions or doubts as to whether an action or an interest constitutes a conflict of interest in violation of this Code.

Corporate Opportunities

You owe a duty to the Company to advance its interests when the opportunity to do so arises and are prohibited from taking for yourself opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information, or position. You may not use Company property, information, or position for personal gain. In addition, you may not compete with the Company. The duties of directors and officers concerning corporate opportunities are subject to the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and/or restated from time to time.

Confidentiality

You should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to you by the Company or by its stakeholders, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to the Company’s competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers if disclosed.

Financial and Business Records

The Company requires fair, accurate, and timely recording and reporting of financial information in order to make responsible business decisions and appropriate disclosures under applicable laws. Most stakeholders are involved with financial records or reports of some nature (e.g., time sheets, invoice or expense reports) or are involved with activities that can affect our reported financial condition or results, regardless of job function. You may not intentionally misrepresent the Company’s financial performance or otherwise intentionally compromise the integrity of the Company’s reports and records. You must use reasonable efforts to ensure that every business record or report is accurate, complete, and reliable.

Protection of Company Assets

You are responsible for protecting the Company’s assets and ensuring their efficient use for legitimate purposes only, including our proprietary information and the proprietary information of any third party with respect to which the Company has incurred confidentiality obligations. You must exercise reasonable care to prevent theft, damage, or misuse of Company property.

Respect for our Stakeholders

Stakeholders must maintain a high level of professionalism and integrity when interacting with customers, suppliers, and colleagues. Any behavior that could be considered disrespectful, discriminatory, or offensive is prohibited. Stakeholders must maintain the confidentiality of all customer and company information. No information should be shared with third parties unless it is necessary for the performance of the employee’s duties or required by law. Stakeholders must avoid any activities or situations that may create a conflict of interest with the company. This includes accepting gifts, entertainment, or other favors that could compromise the employee’s judgment.
