Political Activities Policy
商业行为标准
尼尔森的所有员工都遵守尼尔森的行为准则。行为准则的基础是遵守正直、诚实、公平、尊重和可靠的原则。
政治献金政策和候选人评估标准
Nielsen employees may not make political contributions on behalf of Nielsen, except through the Nielsen PAC as discussed below. Accordingly, as enunciated in our Code of Conduct, Nielsen employees may not use Nielsen funds to make political contributions or seek reimbursement for political contributions.
尼尔森目前不使用公司资金进行政治捐款，包括向候选人、政党、政治行动委员会、超级政治行动委员会、政治委员会、527团体、选票问题委员会、501(c)(4)组织捐款，或支付独立支出。尼尔森设有联邦政治行动委员会，允许符合条件的尼尔森员工集中资源，支持立场与尼尔森一致的候选人。尼尔森 PAC 的捐款绝不是为了换取或期待官方行为。
尼尔森 PAC 在捐款前会考虑各种因素，包括候选人是否符合以下条件：
- 位于尼尔森拥有大量员工和主要业务的州或地区；
- 担任国会领导职务；
- 所在委员会负责制定对尼尔森很重要的立法；或
- 是代表多元文化选区的国会核心小组成员。
尼尔森 PAC 目前只向联邦候选人捐款。
监督与合规
尼尔森的公共政策和政府事务团队与政府和民选官员互动，解释我们的产品，并促进测量的使用，以创造繁荣的市场和社区。尼尔森还设有监察员和法律团队，以确保遵守我们的行为准则和所有相关的竞选财务、游说和政府道德法律，并进行相关的申报和报告。尼尔森已在整个组织内实施了相关程序，员工可据此报告法律违规或其他不当行为。
The Nielsen PAC Steering Committee–a bipartisan group of senior Nielsen leaders–provides oversight of all Nielsen PAC activities and makes all contribution decisions. The Treasurer of Nielsen PAC and the Company’s Legal team oversee compliance with relevant law. Nielsen management periodically reviews with the Board of Directors its government affairs and political activities policies and the Board provides oversight of all Nielsen political activity.

会员资格和赞助
Nielsen belongs to or supports a number of trade associations and membership organizations. We choose these memberships and sponsorships by determining that the organizations can help advance the use of information to create thriving markets and communities or other issues of importance to Nielsen, that they can partner with us to shape meaningful policy discussions, and that they can help us engage with key constituencies. Nielsen’s sponsorship or collaboration with a third-party organization does not mean we endorse the organization’s entire agenda or the views of its leaders or members. Nielsen restricts all payments to trade associations and membership organizations by informing the recipient that the payment from Nielsen may not be used to intervene in any election, directly or indirectly. This restriction does not apply to lobbying expenses or the administrative costs of operating a PAC. Nielsen does not contribute to any special solicitations or assessments made by third party groups to pay for political activity. The following is a listing of the kinds of trade associations and other membership groups with which we work:
