Our Global Code of Conduct

The Ernst & Young Global Code of Conduct provides the ethical framework on which we base our decisions – as individuals and as members of our global organisation. The Code is anchored in our values and beliefs, and underpins all that we do.

Our Global Code of Conduct is organised into five categories containing guiding principles that should be used by everyone within Ernst & Young to guide our behaviour across all areas of our activity:

  • Working with one another
  • Working with clients and others
  • Acting with professional integrity
  • Maintaining our objectivity and independence
  • Respecting intellectual capital
