Glossary Corporate Code of Conduct
A Corporate Code of Conduct, also known as a Business Code of Ethics, is a set of principles and guidelines that an organization has developed to guide the behavior of its employees, contractors, and other stakeholders in the course of conducting its business operations. It serves as a framework for ethical decision-making and guides employees on how to act responsibly, transparently, and with integrity in their day-to-day interactions with each other, customers, suppliers, and the broader community.
Corporate Codes of Conduct typically cover a range of topics, such as bribery, corruption, conflicts of interest, fair competition, insider trading, data privacy, human rights, health and safety, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. They may also outline how to report violations of the code and the consequences for non-compliance.
By adopting a Corporate Code of Conduct, organizations demonstrate their commitment to operating in an ethical and responsible manner and building trust with their stakeholders. It can help organizations to mitigate legal and reputational risks, attract and retain customers and employees who value ethical behavior, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
