Official Conduct Clause Samples
The Official Conduct clause sets standards for the behavior and actions of individuals acting in an official capacity under an agreement or within an organization. It typically outlines expectations such as acting ethically, avoiding conflicts of interest, and complying with applicable laws and policies. For example, it may require employees or representatives to maintain confidentiality, report misconduct, or refrain from accepting improper gifts. The core purpose of this clause is to promote integrity and accountability, thereby protecting the organization from reputational harm and legal risks.
