PRIMEDIA's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Introduction/General Statement
The following Code of Ethics sets forth the guiding principles for all of the Company's employees to follow so as to ensure that the Company's core values of honesty, fair dealing, ethical business practice, and full disclosure are followed by all.
Compliance with The Code
PRIMEDIA takes this Code very seriously. All employees must follow the ethical standards set forth in this Code and are obligated to report, in a timely fashion, any possible violations of our ethical standards that they may witness. Doing so is not an act of disloyalty, but an action that shows your sense of responsibility and fairness to your fellow employees, our customers, suppliers and shareholders. Reporting in good faith possible ethical violations by others will not subject you to reprisal. In fact, retaliation or punishment for reporting suspected unethical or illegal conduct by another employee as provided in this Code or for coming forward to alert the Company of any questionable situation is against the law.
It is the responsibility of employees to read carefully and understand this Code, but we do not expect this Code to answer every possible question an employee may have in the course of conducting business. Furthermore, if employees are concerned about an ethical situation or are not sure whether specific conduct meets the Company's standards of conduct, employees are responsible for asking their supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel any questions that they may feel are necessary to understand the Company's expectations of them. A good basis for deciding when to get advice is to ask whether the conduct might be embarrassing to the Company or the employees involved if the details were fully disclosed to the public. If it might, employees should seek clarification from their supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel.
