See it on page 17Take-Two Interactive maintains a comprehensive framework of mandatory ethical standards designed to ensure integrity, legal compliance, and the protection of human rights across its global operations. These standards apply to all employees, directors, and third-party partners, covering a broad geographic scope that includes specific restrictions regarding sanctioned territories such as Iran and North Korea. By establishing strict protocols for non-discrimination, the protection of corporate assets, and the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest—including outside employment and romantic relationships—the organization fosters a culture of accountability. Compliance is reinforced through biennial training and a rigorous enforcement mechanism where violations may lead to termination.
Corporate integrity is further supported by mandates for financial transparency and fair competition. All financial records must accurately reflect transactions, and the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information to shareholders or the media is strictly prohibited. To prevent market manipulation, the framework forbids insider trading and establishes clear antitrust guidelines that prevent the exchange of commercial data with competitors or interference with the pricing rights of distributors. Furthermore, the organization enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion. This extends to third-party agents, who must undergo due diligence to ensure all business dealings, particularly those involving public officials, remain ethical and legal.
To facilitate the reporting of misconduct, a 24/7 anonymous hotline is provided, allowing for the confidential disclosure of grievances to the Chief Legal Officer or Audit Committee. Strong anti-retaliation protections ensure that individuals reporting concerns in good faith are shielded from adverse actions, though disciplinary measures apply to those who provide knowingly false information. Waivers of these ethical requirements are exceptionally rare, requiring formal approval from the Board of Directors or the Chief Legal Officer, with any executive-level exceptions disclosed publicly to shareholders to maintain institutional transparency.
