Corporate Responsibility

Code of Business Conduct

At Mecom we are committed to responsible corporate behaviour. As a dedicated

media group we believe that our reputation is based on maintaining high standards of business conduct in our relationships with employees and stakeholders being: customers, readers, shareholders, suppliers, governments, competitors and the local communities in which we operate.

 

To underwrite our commitment we have developed our Code of Business Conduct ("the Code") to help our employees across the Group develop a clear understanding of the principles and ethical values that we want to uphold.

 

Compliance with the Code is important for maintaining and building the reputation of the Mecom Group as a responsible and trustworthy business partner, employer, supplier and corporate citizen.

 

The Code forms the core element of Mecom's corporate responsibility framework which comprises a set of policies and control arrangements that govern how we act as an organisation and how we interact with our stakeholders in conducting Company business.

 

It is not possible to anticipate every situation that may arise. The Code is therefore necessarily broad and general in nature and is not intended to replace more detailed policies and procedures within individual businesses. Nevertheless, these basic principles and ethical values should serve as a guide to each employee in his or her dealings with customers, suppliers, shareholders, colleagues and others with whom the business has relationships.
