The expertise of our employees and the high quality of our services can help build trust and confidence in the business community and capital markets. We safeguard the interests of society by delivering high-quality audits based on independence, integrity, objectivity, and professional skepticism. EY's approach to business ethics and integrity is enshrined in EY's Global Code of Conduct, our ethical guidelines, and is integrated into our culture, training programs, and internal communication. EY's CoC has clear principles that guide us in our actions and the way we conduct our business — and it applies to everyone at EY.
EY strives to adhere to a high ethical standard, including the protection of human rights, upholding international labor standards, protecting the environment, and preventing corruption and bribery in all forms. We implement anti-corruption measures across EY, and partners and employees are committed to completing annual training. EY Norway is also committed to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) ten principles and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our expectations related to the environment, human rights, and social conditions also apply to our suppliers, who must confirm their compliance and standards according to our 'Supplier Code of Conduct'.
