Our Code

Following Our Code

As Max stated in his message, our founders believed that “good ethics is good business.” Many decades later, this belief is still at the heart of how we work at McCain. It is the foundation of this Code of Conduct (our “Code”). Our Code serves as the basis of all our policies, guidelines and ways of working. It is built on one principle: follow the highest ethical standards in everything we do.

Our Code sets out the minimum expectations for how we act, according to our company values, and helps us understand the ethics and compliance risks we face. It also helps us understand how we can each address and minimize those risks.

Our Code can’t cover every situation we might encounter. Because of this, it also serves as a framework for making ethical decisions. If you’re not sure how to apply our Code to a situation you’re facing, know that you have support. Please discuss the situation with your manager or reach out to your local or global Human Resources (HR) or Legal & Compliance teams.

Throughout our Code, we refer to “McCain” or the “Company” to mean McCain Foods Limited and its subsidiaries around the world.
