Ethics & Compliance

Our Board and management team sets the tone from the top for our culture and hold all employees and consultants accountable for operating ethically and in compliance with labor laws, financial regulations and other standards that apply to our businesses. We provide the relevant tools, resources and training to help employees succeed and to recognize ethical decision-making.

Code of Business Conduct

All employees globally, including contractors, are trained, tested and must attest that they have read and understand the policies upon hire and annually thereafter
Scores are assessed to ensure understanding
Our Global Compliance team is led by the Vice President for Compliance, who reports to the General Counsel
Any breach of our policies is investigated and appropriate actions are taken which may include termination of employment
