Engaging in Political and Charitable Activities

The impact CDM Smith employees have on the world goes far beyond the walls of our offices or job sites. We believe in making a lasting impact in the communities where we work, live and thrive. We encourage all our employees to make a difference in their communities.

Roadmap for Success

Keep outside volunteer and political activities separate from your work. Make sure that any volunteering is done on your own time, and do not use or donate CDM Smith assets in furtherance of a personal cause.
Do not use charitable donations or political contributions as a way of gaining favorable business decisions or special treatment.
Make sure any outside political activities or statements are your own. Never claim to represent the views of CDM Smith.
Do not pressure or mass solicit CDM Smith colleagues to donate or support an outside cause.
Look to CDM Smith Cares for more information about company-sponsored opportunities to give back.

Think About It

Q: I work in our Marketing Department. A friend of mine who is running for local political office asked if I could use my marketing skills to help create ads and social media posts for her campaign for the next month. Is it okay if I volunteer to do this?

A: Yes! Employees are more than welcome to volunteer for political causes. Just make sure your volunteer activities happen outside of work, and don't make use of any CDM Smith equipment, intellectual property or other assets.
