We regularly review our Code of Conduct to reflect the evolving business landscape and societal expectations. Our Code continues to reinforce our stance on key topics such as environmental responsibility, workplace equity, respectful conduct, financial integrity, and ethical compliance – all of which define our ethical commitments. It remains a valuable resource to help us navigate challenges and make sound business decisions.
