Our approach to governance is more than a legal formality.
We view robust corporate governance as the foundation for an inclusive society and a thriving business by supporting the tenets of honesty, fairness and transparency.
We aim to be a responsible business partner that complies with applicable legal, regulatory and industry code requirements and upholds the highest principles of integrity and standards. This commitment applies to every aspect of our business and each market in which we operate. It also helps us manage risk and opportunities and ensure we remain accountable to stakeholders.
Our Code of Business Conduct and 道德 serves as the centerpiece for how we do business, providing clear guidance on required standards and behaviors. 的代码, which is available to our employees in 14 languages, is reviewed regularly by management and outside counsel to consider evolving issues and best practices. It is accompanied by a series of detailed underlying policies that address critical ESG issues.
The five pillars of the program are underpinned by multiple governance and ethics initiatives. Our commitments in this area include:
- Continue to operate by the standards outlined in our Corporate Code of Business Conduct and 道德. Subjects covered by the Code range from securities trading and anti-corruption to financial reporting and equal opportunity, discrimination and harassment.
- Uphold our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines our expectations in areas such as human rights, 健康和安全, 反贿赂, confidentiality and continuous improvement.
- Maintain a 人权政策 to address topics such as safe working conditions, 童工, living wages and employee rights and responsibilities.
- Enforce a Conflict Minerals Policy to ensure compliance with U.S. 法律.
- Consult and engage our stakeholders on a regular basis and adapt our policies as needed.
