A code of ethics and professional conduct
outlines the ethical principles that govern
decisions and behavior at a company or
organization. They give general outlines of
how employees should behave, as well as
specific guidance for handling issues like
harassment, safety, and conflicts of
interest.

Conduct and Code of Ethics?

Yes.
in most cases businesses will combine both of these
documents into one as there is significant overlap
between them. It is rare to find businesses that have two
separate policies. Whilst they are technically different
documents, employees will have less difficulty recalling
important points around conduct and ethics if they have a
single document to refer to..

Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
Sample Template:
1. Be inclusive.
We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and
identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of
any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic
class, educational level, color, immigration status, sex,
age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental
and physical ability.
2. Be considerate.
We all depend on each other to produce the best work we
can as a company. Your decisions will affect clients and
colleagues, and you should take those consequences into
account when making decisions. TREY

3. Be respectful.
We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for
disrespectful behavior. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but
we cannot allow that frustration become personal attacks. An environment
where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative
one.
4. Choose your words carefully.
Always conduct yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put
down others. Harassment and exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This
includes, but is not limited to:
•Threats of violence.
•Insubordination.
•Discriminatory jokes and language.
•Sharing sexually explicit or violent material via electronic devices or other
means.
•Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
•Unwelcome sexual attention.
•Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. TREY

5. Don't harass.
In general, if someone asks you to stop something, then stop.
When we disagree, try to understand why. Differences of
opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable. What is
important is that we resolve disagreements and differing
views constructively.
6. Make differences into strengths.
We can find strength in diversity. Different people have
different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for
solving problems or generating new ideas. Being unable to
understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean
that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that we all make mistakes,
and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.
Instead, focus on resolving issues and learning from TREY
