Our ethical business conduct and anti-bribery and corruption policy sets out expectations for Meggitt PLC and all subsidiary companies to conduct business fairly, impartially, and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The highest standard of ethical behaviour is expected from Meggitt employees, directors and from those who act on the Company’s behalf in the performance of their professional responsibilities and in their own personal conduct. It also covers areas such as conflicts of interest, gifts and entertainment, competition and anti-trust, and political contributions and lobbying as well as escalation procedures.

The Meggitt Code of Conduct is our foundation of doing the right thing, and doing things right so that we maintain our personal and business integrity. It links our values to our business processes, our colleagues and our dealings; from conflicts of interest and inside information; diversity and inclusion to information security. Also, our commitment to comply with the law, dealings with public officials, lobbying and our corporate responsibility.
