At Unilever, integrity
is the foundation on which they do their business. Unilever has a Code of
Business Principle and Code Policies for its employee. These code are mandatory
for everybody at Unilever including the Board of director, employees and contractors.
This also applies to all Unilever companies, subsidiaries and organizations
over which Unilever has management control. They define the behaviors that
everyone who works for Unilever must follow to. These codes help to make sure
that the company’s values are brought into the workplace and that the good reputation
of the company is promoted and protected. For third parties who interact with
Unilever, they have to follow Responsible Sourcing Policy defines the standards
of integrity of Unilever that the third parties have to follow.
The important component
of Unilever’s ‘winning with integrity’ strategy is the requirement for the
highest standards of behavior from all of their employees and partners. Unilever
operates with a broad definition of corruption. This includes fraud and
financial misrepresentation, conflicts of interest, bribery, facilitation
payments, anti-trust violations and misuse of information. They have dedicated
policies in all of these areas, and others not specifically related to
corruption (such as discrimination, workplace safety and information
protection). These policies define in clear, simple terms what everyone who
works with and for Unilever must and must not do.
