If you are unsure whether a particular action you are about to take is consistent with the principles
set forth in the Code, ask yourself:

• Is it illegal/unlawful or out of line with our policies and procedures?
• Does my conscience reject it? Does it conflict with my personal values?

the Ethics Counsellor, the Human Resource department, the Legal department or any member of
the senior management team, to assist you in making the decision.
