Business Intelligence Gathering 

We are committed to legal and ethical practices in gathering business intelligence.

Indivior has access to a wide array of public information about other companies, their products, and services. Provided the information is collected lawfully, it is generally acceptable for Indivior to use this information to make informed business decisions.

Workforce members are free to gather intelligence about companies from public sources such as websites, published articles, price bulletins, advertisements, brochures, public presentations, and appropriate interactions with individuals in the industry.

Business information about other companies, however, must only be collected and used ethically and in a way that does not violate laws or confidentiality obligations. Workforce members may not engage a third party to conduct unlawful collection of information for use by Indivior (e.g., by misrepresenting who they are acting for or the purpose of seeking the information).

Indivior does use outside vendors to conduct business information gathering and reporting activities. When a third party is gathering information for Indivior, it is the responsibility of the workforce member supervising the activity to make sure the vendor collects information legally.

If a workforce member believes any information has been shared or received counter to these principles, the workforce member should report the suspected or potential violation to Legal.

While at an industry conference, Jessica found a manilla envelope laying on the floor of the elevator in the conference hall. The contents contained the sales strategy of a competitor product. This information would provide her team with the competitive edge that they need. What should Jessica do? Can she use this information?

Jessica should return the contents of the manilla envelop to the conference organizers so that they can locate the rightful owners of the documents. Jessica must not utilize any of the competitor’s sales strategy information to advance the sales of her company’s products.

Yuanyun is a new hire in the marketing department of his company. He has saved files from his previous company that may come in handy for a new campaign that he was hired to create. His previous company owns the intellectual property rights to the materials. Can Yuanyun use these files at his new company?

No. Yuanyun can draw from his previous experience to help him to create the new marketing campaign, but he cannot use materials that were created while he was employed with his previous company, as those materials are the intellectual property of his former company.
