Frequently asked questions

Common queries on deployment and customization

How do we handle a situation where a senior leader violates the Code of Conduct?

The same rules must apply at every level — this is where many organisations fail. If senior leaders are seen to be above the Code, it destroys its credibility entirely. A robust process means any complaint is handled independently of seniority, and outcomes are communicated (within appropriate limits) to maintain trust.

How often should we update our Code of Conduct?

Review it at least every two years, and immediately after major events like a merger, regulatory change, or high-profile misconduct case. An outdated Code that doesn't reflect current laws or company realities can actually create more legal risk than having no code at all.

What's the real difference between a Code of Conduct and a Code of Ethics?

A Code of Ethics is broad and values-based — it outlines the principles your organisation believes in (like honesty and respect). A Code of Conduct is more practical — it spells out the specific behaviours and actions expected in day-to-day situations. Many organisations have both, or combine them.

What is a Code of Conduct and why does my company actually need one?

A Code of Conduct is a written document that sets out the standards of behaviour expected from everyone in your organisation. It gives employees a clear reference for what's acceptable, protects the company legally, and signals to clients and partners that you operate with integrity.

What should actually be included in a Code of Conduct?

At minimum, it should cover: workplace behaviour and respect, conflicts of interest, data and confidentiality, gifts and hospitality, anti-bribery and corruption, use of company resources, social media conduct, health and safety, how to raise concerns, and the consequences of violations.
