Things to consider as you read and apply our Worldwide Code of Conduct
Know the Purpose
The PBG Worldwide Code of Conduct (the “Code”) outlines our Company’s principles of ethical business conduct. As no single document can cover all possible events or situations we may encounter in our complex world, the Code is meant to be a guide. Ultimately, you must use sound judgment and common sense to do the right thing.
Exercise Your Responsibility
To uphold the principles and values outlined in the Code:
- You must not only comply with the laws and policies that govern our business, but you must also understand and uphold the spirit of those laws and policies.
- If you manage people, it is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your team understand and abide by PBG’s principles and values.
- You must report any actual or potential violations of the Code, Company policy, or the law to your Human Resources Manager, PBG’s Office of Compliance, or via the PBG Business Ethics Line.
Use Your Best Judgment
When faced with an unfamiliar or questionable situation, ask yourself these questions:
- What is the right thing to do?
- Would I feel comfortable explaining my actions/inactions to my family?
- How would this appear to a third party (e.g., customer, competitor, supplier, manager, or auditor)?
- How would this be portrayed in the media?
Ask Someone for Help
If you’re unclear about what to do, call upon one of the following resources:
- Your supervisor
- Your Human Resources Manager
- PBG’s Office of Compliance
- The PBG Business Ethics Line (see contact numbers in the section called Business Ethics Line Numbers)
PBG Office of Compliance
The PBG Office of Compliance is responsible for the enforcement of the Code and is subject to the supervision of the Audit and Affiliated Transactions Committee of the PBG Board of Directors.
