defines how the
organization expects

61. Codes of conduct
cannot detail a solution
for every ethical
situation, so

training in ethical
reasoning.
62. Confidentiality
We are committed to maintaining the highest degree of integrity in all our
dealings with potential, current and past clients, both in terms of normal
commercial confidentiality, and the protection of all personal information
received in the course of providing the business services concerned. We
extend the same standards to all our customers, suppliers and associates.
Ethics
We always conduct our own services honestly and honourably, and
expect our clients and suppliers to do the same. Our advice, strategic
assistance and the methods imparted through our training, take proper
account of ethical considerations, together with the protection and
enhancement of the moral position of our clients and suppliers.
Conflict of interest
Due to the sensitive nature of our particular consultancy services, we will
not provide a service to a direct competitor of a client, and we generally
try to avoid any dealings with competitor companies even after the
cessation of services to a client.
63. Contracts
Our contract will usually be in the form of a detailed proposal, including aims,
activities, costs, timescales and deliverables. The quality of our service and the value of
our support provide the only true basis for continuity. We always try to meet our
clients' contractual requirements, and particularly for situations where an external
funding provider requires more official parameters and controls.
Fees
Our fees are always competitive for what we provide, which is high quality, tailored,
specialized service. As such we do not generally offer arbitrary discounts; generally a
reduction in price is only enabled by reducing the level or extent of services to be
delivered. That said, we always try to propose solutions which accommodate our
clients' available budgets and timescales. Wherever possible we agree our fees and basis
of charges clearly in advance, so that we and our clients can plan reliably for what lies
ahead, and how it is to be achieved and financially justified.
Payment
We aim to be as flexible as possible in the way that our services our charged. Some
clients prefer fixed project fees; others are happier with retainers, and we try to fit in
with what will be best for the client.
64. What It Is
A code of ethics, also known as a code of conduct, clarifies “an organization’s
mission, values, and principles, linking them with standards of professional

when making decisions at work.
Why It Matters
A code of ethics can help your organization to:
Show customers that it values integrity.
Define the terms of ethical behavior at work.

. The prevailing attitude among consumers is that businesses care more about
profits than workers, consumers, or the environment.
