We know our Code
What is ethical decision-making?
Remember, our Code is the starting point, not the finish line. It lays out the basic guidelines for ethical business conduct, but it doesn’t have the answer to every question you might have or every situation you might encounter.
WHAT IF...
THERE’S A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE CODE AND A POLICY IN MY DEPARTMENT, WORK GROUP, OR FUNCTIONAL GROUP?
Follow the Code. Bring the conflict to the attention of your supervisor and HR business partner.
