AURIA is committed to providing a professional work environment free of all forms of discrimination and conduct that could be considered harassing, coercive or disruptive, including unlawful harassment. The diversity of the Company’s Employees is a tremendous asset. The Company strongly opposes any attempts to restrict the development of the productive potential of any individual and will not tolerate any illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. This commitment continues AURIA’s long-standing policy to offer fair and equal opportunity to every person regardless of race, sex, color, veteran status, national origin, religion, physical or mental disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. In addition, it is the policy of AURIA to comply with federal, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment at each AURIA location. This commitment to provide equal opportunity places an obligation and responsibility not only on the Company, but also on each Employee, regardless of organizational level or position. Every Employee will be expected to ensure that: (1) we make all decisions related to our business on the basis of merit and the facts that are available, and not on discriminatory factors; and (2) we treat every Employee with the courtesy and dignity that they have every right to expect. AURIA does not tolerate discrimination of any kind, nor does it tolerate retaliation against anyone who makes a bona fide complaint of discrimination or who assists or cooperates in the investigation of a complaint. The Company’s objective is to create and maintain an environment that fosters collaboration, interaction, tolerance and respect. The Company’s policies prohibit discrimination against or harassment of Employees on the basis of race, sex, color, veteran status, national origin, religion, physical or mental disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
