Each of us must follow the Code and the laws that apply to our work. Laws may differ by country. You are expected to know the rules for your role and to ask questions if something is unclear.

We expect all employees to:

Act honestly and ethically.
Follow the law and company policies.
Speak up when something seems wrong.
Cooperate in audits and investigations.
Protect the company’s assets and reputation.

Managers’ additional responsibilities

Managers have a heightened responsibility to the company and the teams they lead. They must:

Lead by example.
Create a safe and open workplace where employees can ask questions.
Report suspected misconduct to Legal and Compliance.
Protect employees who raise concerns, and work to prevent retaliation.
Clearly define roles and expectations, including compliance duties.
Select employees based on their skills and suitability for the job.
Ensure laws and company rules are followed.
Regularly communicate the importance of ethical conduct and the consequences of misconduct.

Managers are responsible not only for results, but also for how those results are achieved.
