Our Global Third Party Code of Conduct

We are recognised as a global leader in professional services, collaborating with many of the world’s largest organisations. Our commitment is unwavering—we operate within a framework of ethical and professional standards, along with laws, regulations, internal policies and our core values. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, we uphold its ten principles.

We hold ourselves—and those we work with—to the highest ethical and professional standards. Integrity isn’t optional. Our Global Third Party Code of Conduct sets these expectations clearly.

Understanding and following the third party code is key to working for or with us. We expect third parties to be aware of their ethical responsibilities and to integrate the behaviours outlined in the code into their work for or with us. 

We know no code can address every situation third parties may face. The third party code doesn’t replace personal accountability—use good judgment and conduct business properly.

If you are a third party and encounter a situation that might be inconsistent with the code, we encourage you to seek guidance from the person in our company responsible for your services—or contact our Ethics Helpline.

We appreciate the courage it takes to speak up—concerns raised by our third parties will be reviewed and investigated.

If something doesn’t seem right or if you’re facing a dilemma, speak up. It’s the right thing to do.
