Code of conduct

Our Code

Our Code is built on five fundamental principles that define who we are and how we foster trust. These principles guide our daily actions and reflect our dedication to living our firm’s purpose, mission, and values. They highlight our responsibility to our clients, communities, and each other, while emphasizing our commitment to uphold all laws and regulations

1. We Are Rooted in Purpose and Commitment

We are driven by a unified commitment to our purpose, mission, and values. This dedication to our clients, communities, and each other is at the core of who we are and shapes the culture and actions of our firm every day.

2. Integrity as the Foundation of Trust

We earn trust through unwavering integrity. Our Code ensures that our actions are guided by ethical decision-making, empowering us to lead with honesty and transparency. It defines the standards of behavior expected from each of us and offers clear guidance on where to seek help, no matter where we operate globally.

3. The Duty to Speak Up

We hold a responsibility to raise concerns beyond just dissent—it is an obligation to report any misconduct. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, including possible separation from the firm. Speaking up is essential to maintaining our ethical standards and trust.

4. Responsible Client Partnerships

We are committed to partnering with our clients in a responsible manner by carefully selecting engagements, ensuring confidentiality, safeguarding data, and using technology resources responsibly. We also maintain a strong focus on avoiding conflicts of interest to uphold the integrity of our client relationships.

5. Fostering Mutual Respect

We are committed to creating an environment built on respect, inclusion, and care. We maintain a meritocracy free from harassment or discrimination, communicate responsibly, and ensure safety in all our workspaces.
