The code of ethics for my company includes the following rules:
* Employees should let values guide their actions in all cases.
* If something seems wrong, it should be addressed directly.
* Policy requires employees to speak up if they are aware of any violations of the code,
even those they have committed themselves.
* Market responsibly
* Treat people fairly
* Respect the environment
* Keep honest books and records; never trade on inside information; give Kraft Foods

* Compliance with laws, rules and regulations
* Confidentiality
* Discrimination and harassment

employees receive and sign for the code of ethics. With solid ethical guidelines, a
proactive training approach, and a monitoring system, with trustworthy managers to
enforce the rules, our company will continue to set the industry for conducting and
