Ethics and compliance

Trust. Integrity. Quality.

Words have power. But only when they’re backed by action. At PwC, we don’t just talk about a culture of ethical behaviour and compliance with the law. We live it.

Mohamed Kande,
Global Chairman

“Ethics is a core part of PwC’s culture and brand. Maintaining a strong ethical culture is key to how we approach our relationships with clients, stakeholders and each other to deliver our PwC Purpose - Helping us to create a positive change in society. I invite you to learn more about our ethics and compliance programme and the leaders who are committed to upholding these principles.”

Nicola Shield,
Global Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer

“Living our purpose and values at PwC means behaving properly in everything we do. It’s critical that we support a Speak Up culture for our own people, our clients and other stakeholders, so that we all feel safe raising a question or concern and know that it will be handled with confidentiality and objectivity. Together, we cultivate and maintain a respectful and ethical workplace that’s at the heart of PwC.”

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct sets out a common framework around how we are expected to behave and do the right thing.

PwC Ethics Helpline

Speak up. Listen up. Follow up. We offer a safe place, free from retaliation, for our people, clients and third parties to report a concern or ask a question.

Purpose and values

Our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. Our values define who we are, what we stand for, how we behave. They’re the core of PwC.

Post with care

Post with care is the name of a campaign created to make all PwC partners and staff aware of the internal ‘Network Guidance on the Use of Social Media’ which supplements PwC’s Code of Conduct and applicable Network or local standards and policies.

Watch one of the films from this campaign to see how we’re putting our ethics into action.
