What is our Code of Conduct?
Our Code of Conduct is, above all, a guide to help us navigate everyday situations with clarity. In that sense, it is much more than just a mandatory document that every one of us has to sign when joining our Company.
It is, at its core, a practical guidance designed to give us a clear view of what to do and what to avoid.
Why do we have a Code of Conduct?
Our Code of Conduct is designed to help us stay true to three principles: Integrity, Respect, Accountability.
With it, we promote honest and ethical business conduct and a culture of trust and honesty, for a safe and ethical workplace, that fosters excellence.
How to use our Code of Conduct?
However you need to! A question, a doubt, a concern? Our Code of Conduct tries to cover every specific area of business to provide guidance. In each section, you will find concrete advice on how to respond in everyday situations.
For additional guidance in making ethical decisions, we recommend using the “Help me do the right thing” button that you will find on every page of this website. You can use it whenever needed.
If you have any remaining concerns or need to report a situation, please reach out and refer to our Speak Up section: you will find everything you need to reach our Ethics Hotline to voice a concern or our Ethics and Compliance team to ask for advice. We are happy to help.
If you need to dig deeper on a specific topic, our policies & procedures can provide more details on how we conduct business with integrity at ST and are available for download in every relevant section of the website.
