Code of Ethics Guide

A Code of Ethics - also known as an ‘ethical code’ or ‘code of business’ -  is a publicly available statement that sets out the ethical principles that guide your business operations. It may include your vision, mission and values, and your employee Code of Conduct, but it should also go beyond that to provide more detail for stakeholders on your commitments to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and practices. 

Common issues that fall under the Code of Ethics include honest and ethical conduct, health and safety, treatment of employees, customers and suppliers, sustainability, environmental issues, and social responsibility.
