Communicating transparently

The code of conduct and internal policies and procedures provide clear instructions on how to behave, but they cannot provide a solution for all situations. Members of staff must exercise their judgment to make the right decision, drawing on the principles set out in the code of conduct.

These rules of conduct are illustrated with real-life situations that any stakeholder may encounter, including employees, managers, directors and other parties. When contradictory influences are at play, it is important that employees have clear rules to help them make the right decision.
