Compliance, Ethics, Safety and Security
We operate our business ethically, safely and securely. These foundations allow us to create a sustainable future for our company and the industry.
Our employee code of conduct, ‘Our Code’, outlines how we work together. It consolidates our values, expectations and policies into one ethical framework.
We are continuously educating our teams on the latest standards and methodologies to ensure the safety of our products, and we are significantly investing in the security of our people and our technologies.
