  • CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

    In addition to compliance with the Gaiam Code of Ethics, Gaiam's senior financial officers shall:
    • Maintain complete and accurate company records. Transactions between Gaiam and outside individuals and organizations must be promptly and accurately recorded in Gaiam's books in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and principles in the United States. Under no circumstances will Gaiam permit or tolerate the willful misrepresentation of facts or the falsifying of records. Such behavior will result in immediate disciplinary action, including termination.


    • Assure that all disclosures made in all periodic reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other public communications by Gaiam, are full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable. This requires operating in an environment of open communication, while not compromising proprietary and confidentiality concerns.


    • Promote open communication concerning Gaiam's operations, reporting and internal controls. All concerns regarding questionable accounting and business matters shall be immediately referred to General Counsel for investigation and communication to the Audit Committee. Financial officers shall review and evaluate the effectiveness of disclosure and internal control policies and procedures, report any material weakness to the Audit Committee and make other appropriate disclosures, and immediately take corrective action and implement new polices or procedures as needed.
