English term or phrase: "for profit" directorship
Can anyone suggest a good translation for the above? Not much context apart from the following sentence, taken from an employee guideline on "Irregularities" under the sub-heading "What are my Responsibilities".

Outside "for profit" directorships are restricted under the directorships policy.

agree  AMuller: I understand the sentence as saying that directorships in for-profit organisations are restricted; whereas directorships in voluntary sector organisations might be permitted

Explanation:
ich glaube, hier geht es um die Gegenüberstellung von Non Profit
Organisationen (gemeinnützige Org.-die z.B. steuerfrei betrieben werden) und For Profit Org. - also der ganze, normale Rest - Business eben und dass der Direktor einer Non Proft Org. nicht nebenbei einen Job bei einer normalen Fa. haben darf (*strengstens verboten ist zuviel - höchstens begrenzt oder eingeschränkt)
