We pride ourselves on being an honest and ethical company. We believe in doing what is right and adhering to the highest standards — in everything we do. It’s crucial to our purpose of building secure tomorrows. It’s how we operate and what we expect every day — from our board of directors to our company leaders to employees throughout the organization.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We set clear expectations for all employees, officers and directors through our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Based on our values, the Code is designed to help us in our work with clients, suppliers and each other. The Code references a variety of company policies and relevant laws and regulations. Employees are responsible for knowing and complying with the specific policies and procedures that apply to their work. We review and update our Code each year, and all employees must complete annual training and certification.

Ethics helpline

We have a confidential ethics helpline where employees and suppliers can anonymously report concerns, submit complaints and ask questions. Helpline users can get direct access to a compliance team member for prompt attention to their concern.  

Supporting ethical leadership

We expect a lot from our leaders, and we support them in their responsibilities. Our ethics toolkit for leaders helps them promote ethics in their day-to-day interactions with direct reports and feel empowered to appropriately handle concerns. It contains reminders and advice on our ethics and values, an explanation of their role as ethical leaders, and examples and tips for strengthening ethical leadership.

Business Ethics Leadership Alliance

As members of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA), we are connected to a community of companies committed to doing business with integrity. This community helps us find and share best practices for ethics and compliance and provides resources to share throughout our organization.
