Ask yourself:

Could this situation interfere with my responsibilities at Aptiv?

Could it affect the decisions I make for Aptiv?

Would I or my family members or close friend(s) benefit personally from it?

Could others (inside or outside of Aptiv) see this as a conflict?

If the answer to any question is “yes” or “I am not sure,” stop and seek help – there may be a conflict.
