The prosperity of a company is largely based on the confidence it inspires in its customers and suppliers.  
To create and maintain this confidence, a number of rules of conduct must be observed at all levels of the company. 

The purpose of the Code of Good Conduct is to help people in the company decide how to act in real, often complex situations. The Code forms a body of rules that should be applied in all situations by all members of the Group wherever they may be. 

The Code of Good Conduct complements the existing rules in force at the Group’s sites.
