Global Code of Conduct Solution v2.0 (UK) (CUSTOMISATION REQUIRED)






As an employee, you represent the face of our company in every business transaction, every phone call and every email. We have created policies that provide specific guidance for ethical behaviour, but it's up to you to practise those principles in all your day-to-day work. Doing so will enhance the company's reputation, and protect both you and the organisation from the consequences that can result from unethical actions and legal violations.
