CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

At NEOM, information and ideas are some of our most valuable assets. Ideas need time to grow. We therefore need to make sure we do not share ideas or information prematurely with others. When information is designated as confidential, it requires specific handling in order to ensure it does not set false expectations, affect our project launches, damage our reputation or impact negatively on our partners.
By confidential information, we mean all non-public information that may be harmful to NEOM or our stakeholders if disclosed.

AS A COMPANY, WE ARE COMMITTED TO:

• Maintaining policies and procedures to ensure that confidential information is handled appropriately and that employees understand their responsibilities in relation to these policies and procedures
• Investigating all reported cases of confidential information being shared or handled inappropriately, and following up with appropriate disciplinary measures where necessary
• Creating a robust cyber-secure environment to protect the confidential information we hold from unauthorized access or compromise (see ‘Cybersecurity’ section)
• Protecting the confidential information of our third parties as if it were our own (see ‘Data privacy’ section)

AS NEOM REPRESENTATIVES, WE EXPECT YOU TO:

• Do your part to help us ensure that confidential information is protected, by understanding our commitments and following all related approvals, policies, and procedures
• Take responsibility for the protection of any confidential information available to you and ensure it is not disclosed to any unauthorized person (inside or outside the company) or used for your own benefit, even after your employment with NEOM is over
• Seek advice from NEOM Legal if you have confidential information related to potential partnerships, acquisitions, or deals NEOM is working on, and are considering buying or selling securities in any of those companies
• Treat the confidential information of our partners as if it were our own, if you are working in a related role
