GIANT INDUSTRIES, INC.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
FOR DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
ADOPTED MARCH 11, 2004
INTRODUCTION
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") covers a wide range of
business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise,
but it sets out basic principles to guide all directors of Giant Industries,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and all employees,
including officers, of the Company. All of our employees and directors must
conduct themselves in accordance with the Code and seek to avoid the appearance
of improper behavior.
If a law or regulation conflicts with a policy in this code, you must comply
with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you
must comply with the Code. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE EMPLOYEE'S
SUPERVISOR OR TO THE COMPANY'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN IF YOU
ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO.
Those who violate the standards in this Code will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination. If you are in a situation that you
believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines
described in Sections 11 and 12 of this Code.
1. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS
Doing what is right, treating others as you would want to be treated, and
obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, are the foundations on which this
Company's ethical standards are built. We expect all of our employees and
directors to endeavor to respect and obey the applicable laws of the relevant
jurisdictions in which we operate. Although not all employees and directors are
expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough to
determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or the Company's Legal
Department.
2. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A "conflict of interest" exists when a person's private interest
interferes in any way - or appears to interfere - with the interests of the
Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee or director takes
actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her
Company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interests also may arise
when an employee or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper
personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.
It is almost always a conflict of interest for a Company employee to work
simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. Employees are not allowed
to work for a competitor as an employee, consultant or board member. The best
policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our
customers, suppliers or competitors, except on the Company's behalf.
Directors should inform the Chair of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee and the CEO prior to accepting appointments to the board of
directors or the advisory board of any public or privately held company. The
disclosure requirements and other possible conflict of interest issues involved
must be analyzed and discussed.
