Protect Company and Customer Information
You have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of all xxx business, technical and financial information.... Do not mention customers, business partners or suppliers without prior approval from xxx. Be aware that customer contracts may preclude you from publicizing contract activities.
I do not understand the reasoning behind this sentence. Can anybody help? Thanks.

The final sentence is repeating the point made in the other sentences you included. In three different ways, the reader is told that he can't make it known what he will be doing with the customer. (An example would be if Angela Merkel hired Barack Obama to write all her speeches. She would have him sign a contract in which he agreed to not tell anyone what he was doing for her).
