Rogers Corporation encourages employees to be involved personally in their communities and political affairs, including making personal political or charitable contributions and expressing personal political views. However, we must always make it clear that our personal views and actions are not those of the Company.

Rogers fully complies with all political contribution laws. Company funds may not be used for contributions of any kind to any political party or committee or to any candidate or holder of any government position unless such contribution is permitted by law and complies with Company policy. No Rogers employee nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf is permitted to make any direct or indirect political contribution or use Company assets or resources to support any political candidate or party unless specifically authorized in writing by the Global Director of Compliance & Integrity.

Rogers sometimes shares interests with industry groups that advocate and shape public policy positions on issues that are important to our Company, and to the clients and communities we serve. However, our membership in any specific trade associations does not mean that we endorse every position or issue that such organizations or their members may support through lobbying activities or otherwise.

What is expected of you?

  • Take steps to ensure that your personal political opinions and activities are not viewed as those of the Company.
  • Never pressure another employee to contribute to, support, or oppose any political candidate, party, or political effort.
  • Holding or campaigning for political office must not create, or appear to create, a conflict of interest with your duties.
  • Do not solicit contributions or distribute political literature during work hours and never use Company resources for such activities.
  • Never make a political or charitable contribution with the intent to improperly influence someone or gain inappropriate advantage for Rogers Corporation.
