The SBD Way: Doing The Right Thing, The Right Way
The SBD Way—our Code of Business Ethics—provides guidance for making ethical decisions in our employees’ daily work and introduces our compliance policies. Our employees are required to read, understand and live The SBD Way.
The SBD Way is organized into two main sections that reflect our approach to ethical business: “The Right Thing” and “The Right Way.”
“The Right Thing” focuses on what we do—our values and our expectations that guide ethical decision-making. It serves as the ethical foundation of our compliance program, providing guidelines that help our employees navigate their roles with purpose and integrity. It ensures that we’re honest, fair and trustworthy in our business activities.
By focusing on doing “The Right Thing,” we fulfill our responsibilities to our stakeholders in a way that is consistent with our core values and contributes positively to the communities we serve.
Doing things “The Right Way” shows how we bring our commitment to ethics to life. It offers a summary of non-negotiable compliance rules for daily business, along with potential warning signs to watch out for.
