culture of ethics that is reflected in the way we manage our business and interact with others.

Ethical Business Conduct
We manage our business with transparency and veracity, building trust among our stakeholders, Indigenous partners and our employees. Our culture is reinforced throughout our organization with an emphasis on employee training, awareness of best practices and promotion of adherence to all laws, regulations, policies, guidelines and rules. We have adopted a policy framework and implemented programs to ensure that each employee conducting activities on our behalf, adhere to these high ethical and professional standards.
Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics (CODE)
Our Code outlines our values and ethical standards that guide our actions and behaviours.
All new employees are required to read and attest to the Code upon acceptance of their employment offer and to complete online training shortly after joining our organization. Each employee is required to certify compliance annually.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABC) Policy
We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption, including
facilitation payments, and we require that every employee adhere to the ABC Policy.
Online training is provided to each new employee at the start of their employment and employees holding positions at elevated risk for bribery and corruption are required to complete annual business specific anti-bribery and anti-corruption training.

Concerns

This platform features our “Compliance Corner” where we highlight real-life business specific scenarios to ensure precise understanding of policy compliance.
