Our Code’s five major sections

Speak up

Speaking up when something doesn’t seem right shows our integrity and courage to do the right thing. We explore when and how to express concerns and report situations that don’t seem right.

Build trust in how we do business

We define what’s expected of us as professionals and uphold our reputation by maintaining professional standards, adhering to laws and regulations, and fulfilling ethical obligations—all while delivering high quality, innovative work.

Build trust in how we use information

We respect the privacy and confidentiality of information of our clients, our people and others we do business with. We protect personal and confidential information in all forms, and we don’t misuse it. We exercise good judgement on social media. 

Build trust in our communities

We focus on how we present ourselves to the world and markets we operate in. We aim to earn the trust of our stakeholders by demonstrating care, openness and honesty, and by maintaining a strong focus on ethics and quality.

Build trust with each other

Trust is essential to working effectively with our colleagues and serving our clients. It begins with each of us treating each other with care, courtesy, dignity, fairness and respect.
