Our Global Principles of Business Conduct (“Global Code”) outlines Deloitte’s ethical commitments and expectations for Deloitte people globally, providing for a strong foundation built upon indelible principles. At Deloitte, ethical culture and values are at the heart of our business, and we take our individual and collective responsibility to serve and uphold the public interest very seriously. Driving a comprehensive and robust approach to ethics and elevating our culture of integrity helps Deloitte people incorporate ethics and integrity in all that they do and make their best professional decisions.

We ask all Deloitte people to read and understand these commitments, and to understand their significance. Deloitte firms have their own codes of conduct, which are based on the Global Code and incorporate local requirements. Together, these expectations inform the actions we take, every day.

Deloitte clients and stakeholders continue to trust and expect our people to do what is right. The daily decisions we make help to build and sustain that trust. We each play an important role in maintaining our ethical culture –one where people feel comfortable in seeking advice and speaking up, and one in which we actively listen and support those who ask questions or raise concerns.

With that in mind, it is essential that each of us does our part to continue building a culture that aligns with our Global Code –because for Deloitte, it starts with integrity.

*Please note that Deloitte Global does not provide services to clients and therefore references to clients in the Global Code refer to Deloitte firm clients.
