Corporate Code of Conduct Consulting
A company's adherence to a Code of Conduct or Business Practices reflects its dedication to upholding ethical business standards.
Our services encompass the review of your existing codes and related policies or the creation of a new, customised Code designed to be easily comprehensible, user-friendly, and visually appealing.
We address the following key areas:
-
Significance and purpose of the Code, typically reinforced by a message from the company's CEO or Board, advocating commitment from employees and contractors.
-
Setting the right tone from leadership.
-
Individual accountability and compliance commitment.
-
Conflict of interest management – prioritising the company's best interests.
-
Robust anti-bribery stance.
-
Compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
-
Guidelines for gifts, hospitality, and engagement.
-
Emphasis on health, safety, and environmental practices.
-
Human rights protections.
-
Focus on sustainability initiatives.
-
Expectations from third-party compliance (suppliers, etc).
-
Facilitating whistleblowing, ethics reporting, and reporting channels.
-
Customised additional topics based on company risk profiles.
We collaborate with you to discern your unique risk profile essentials and your envisioned standards for employee and third-party engagement within an ethical corporate environment.
Separate Codes can be devised – one for employees, and one for suppliers/service providers and other business partners.
