Business Conduct Guide

The BHP Billiton Guide to Business Conduct applies to all our employees and contractors, regardless of their specific job or location. The Guide seeks to provide direction and advice on conducting business and interacting with governments, communities and business partners. Clear guidelines are provided on general workplace behaviour, including issues related to discrimination. It also states our policies, standards and guidelines on a wide range of ethical issues, including conflict of interest, financial inducements and bribery, insider trading and political contributions. Managers and supervisors are held accountable not only for their own actions, but also for the actions of their staff.
