How does The Code work?

The Code clearly explains how to do the right thing in line with our Purpose and Values in number of important circumstances. The Code provides a clear explanation of the standard of conduct that is acceptable in different situations, what we must avoid doing, and what to do if you have a concern. However, The Code can only take you so far. It does not cover every law or situation that could apply to you in your daily activities. However, it does provide you with a framework to be able to make the necessary enquiries and raise the appropriate questions to give you confidence that you are doing the right thing. If you are still in doubt as to whether a particular course of action is right or wrong, then ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is it consistent with our core values? 2. Does it seem the right thing to do? 3. Is it fair and honest? 4. Does is reflect well on Keltbray’s reputation? 5. Would you be happy to see it appear in the media? What would be the reaction of colleagues?

If you are ever unsure what to do, please ask your manager or another colleague for advice
