“Mankind is drawn to the heavens for the same reason we were once drawn into unknown lands and across the open sea. We choose to explore space because doing so improves our lives, and lifts our national spirit. So let us continue the journey.”
– George W. Bush
History
Orion Co. (OXM) was a mega-corporation with divisions affecting nearly every level of consumer need, society, and government. Their products ranged from consumer products to military weaponry, security and private space travel. In the past, OXM had gambled in markets that were traditionally regarded as non-profit, such as hospitals, prisons, and space exploration.
OXM sought to fully privatize Stanton IV, a manufactured municipality governed by a corporatocracy, with fully privatised services — such as police — and with residents exercising their representative citizenship through the purchase of shares of OXM stock. They also served as part of the military-industrial complex; according to OXM a executive, “We practically are the military.” Unfortunately Mircotech got there first.

Our Board of Directors will unveil our official corporate statements soon. Please come back for updated information.
Charter
1. No Retaliation
OXM prohibits retaliation against any worker here who reports or participates in an investigation of a possible violation of our Code, policies, or the law.
(If you believe you are being retaliated against, please contact Ethics & Compliance.)
2.Integrity
Our reputation as a company that our Business partners can trust is our most valuable asset, and it is up to all of us to make sure that we continually earn that trust. All of our communications and other interactions with our users should increase their trust in us.
3.Support Each Other
We are committed to a supportive work environment, where employees have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. OXM employees are expected to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias, and unlawful discrimination.
4.Equal Opportunity Employment
Employment here is based solely upon individual merit and qualifications directly related to professional competence. We strictly prohibit unlawful discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, veteran status, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy status, sex, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, mental or physical disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, or any other characteristics protected by law. We also make all reasonable accommodations to meet our obligations under laws protecting the rights of the disabled.
5.Safe Workplace
We are committed to a violence-free work environment, and we will not tolerate any level of violence or the threat of violence in the workplace. Under no circumstances should anyone bring a weapon to work. If you become aware of a violation of this policy, you should report it to Human Resources immediately. In case of potential violence, contact OXM Security.
6.Competitors/Former Employers
We respect our competitors and want to compete with them fairly. But we don’t want their confidential information. The same goes for confidential information belonging to any OXM employee’s former employers. If an opportunity arises to take advantage of a competitor’s or former employer’s confidential information, don’t do it. Should you happen to come into possession of a competitor’s confidential information, contact Legal immediately.
7.Protect OXM’s Assets
OXM has a well-earned reputation for generosity with our employee benefits and openness with confidential information shared within the company. Our ability to continue these practices depends on how well we conserve company resources and protect company assets and information.
8.Company Equipment
OXM gives us the tools and equipment we need to do our jobs effectively, but counts on us to be responsible and not wasteful with the OXM stuff we are given. Nobody’s going to complain if you snag an extra bagel on Friday morning, but company funds, equipment, and other physical assets are not to be requisitioned for purely personal use. Not sure if a certain use of company assets is okay? Please ask your manager or Human Resources.
9.Signing a Contract
Each time you enter into a business transaction on OXM’s behalf, there should be documentation recording that agreement, approved by the Legal Department. Signing a contract on behalf of OXM is a very big deal. Never sign any contract on behalf of OXM unless all of the following are met:
You are authorized to do so under our Signature Authority and Approval Policy. If you are unsure whether you are authorized, ask your manager
The contract has been approved by Legal. If you are using an approved OXM form contract, you don’t need further Legal approval unless you have made changes to the form contract or are using it for other than its intended purpose
You have studied the contract, understood its terms and decided that entering into the contract is in OXM’s interest
All contracts at OXM should be in writing and should contain all of the relevant terms to which the parties are agreeing – OXM does not permit “side agreements,” oral or written.
10.Anti-bribery Laws
Like all businesses, OXM is subject to lots of laws, both UEE and non-UEE., that prohibit bribery in virtually every kind of commercial setting. The rule for us at OXM is simple – don’t bribe anybody, anytime, for any reason.
