Ethics and Compliance Program
The Xerox Ethics and Compliance Program is an integral part of our daily business operations and practices. Conducting business with the highest degree of ethical integrity is the job of every employee at Xerox. To facilitate this commitment to integrity we have:
A global, written code of business conduct available in 13 languages
A supplemental code of conduct for finance employees
A specific code of conduct for the board of directors
A dedicated Xerox Ethics Helpline to receive questions and complaints, which is accessible from anywhere in the world at any time, and a strictly enforced non-retaliation policy to promote comfort in using the Helpline. Please see How to Contact the Xerox Ethics Helpline for additional information regarding reporting ethics and compliance concerns.
