Code of Conduct

Code of conduct is a collection of rules and regulations that include what is and is not acceptable or
expected behavior

Why Code of Conduct is important?

It defines the VALUES of an organisation and provides to all employees the boundaries of their behaviour relative to their duties to the organisation. A well-written code of conduct clarifies an organization’s mission, values and principles, linking them with standards of professional conduct. Written codes of conduct or ethics can become benchmarks against which individual and organizational performance can be measured. Additionally, a code is a central guide and reference for employees to support day-to-day decision making. It encourages discussions of ethics and compliance, empowering employees to handle ethical dilemmas they encounter in everyday work. It can also serve as a valuable reference, helping employees locate relevant documents, services and other resources related to ethics within the organization.
