Political Contributions and Lobbying
Travelport Government Relations is responsible for all government liaison activity. Any employee wishing to represent the company in this area must promptly report their intentions to Travelport Government Relations. Employees may, of course, participate in the political process as private citizens, but they should bear in mind that lobbying laws require that personal political activity be separated from Travelport political activity
Travelport cannot reimburse employees for money or personal time contributed to political campaigns. In addition, employees may not work on behalf of a candidate’s campaign during working hours or at any time use Travelport facilities or resources for that purpose.
Travelport is prohibited from making contributions to candidates, officeholders and political parties at the U.S. federal level and under certain state and local laws in the United States. Travelport has established a political action committee (“PAC”) that is a voluntary political contribution fund authorized by U.S. federal law. U.S. employees may make political contributions on a personal basis, in accordance with applicable law, and may participate in the PAC on a voluntary basis. Travelport is prohibited from requiring employees to make contributions to the PAC. Laws governing contributions to state and local candidates (and comparable political figures outside the U.S.) vary from state to state and country to country and are to be observed by all employees as applicable.
