Ethical and Socially Responsive Business
This is a reminder from your CEO ; to all employees, Officers, and Members of the Board of Directors of the importance of adherence to the Code of Conduct that we have put in place here at Chipotle Mexican Grill. If you have not taken the time to go over the Code of Conduct personally, I ask that each of you take the time to do so as soon as possible. Although adherence to the Code of Conduct in its entirety is of the utmost importance; there are a few key areas that can have a significant impact on our business. I ask that you take extra care to make yourselves aware of these key areas and the ramifications that non-adherence to these particular areas can produce. These areas are as follows:
Compliance with the code
This is where you can find information about what to do if you become aware of a breach or violation of the Code of Conduct, and what actions can and will be taken against any employee, Officer, or Board Member who have been found to have violated the Code of Conduct.
Protection of Company Assets
Theft, carelessness, and wasteful practices have a direct impact on the profitability of our business. This is why it is imperative to report any known violations of this particular area of the Code of Conduct so that it may be immediately investigated and rectified.
Chipotle’s Confidential Information
Any confidential or proprietary information you may come across is strictly prohibited from being used for personal gain or the detriment of Chipotle. All confidential information that is to be disclosed must be disclosed on a need to know basis, meaning that it should only be divulged to employees who need said information to do their jobs. In this section, you can also find out what you should do if you were to come across this type of information.
Political/Religious Activity and Contributions
Here you can find information about the misuse of Chipotle’s name, funds, assets, or property for religious or political purposes or endorsements.
