Ethics, compliance and transparency
We do business with ethics and
consider this fundamental for long-
term relationships and strategies.
Our seven ethical principles form the
groundwork of our Code of Ethics
and Conduct and the Supplier Code
of Conduct. We determine that all
employees and third party workers
follow them, and expect the same
from our suppliers.GRI 103-2, 103-3|410
Our conduct principles
1. We follow the law
2. We conduct businesses with integrity
3. We keep precise and trustworthy records
4. We honor our commercial obligations
5. We treat people with dignity and respect
6. We protect Cargill's information, assets and interests
7. We are committed to being global responsible citizens
The clients, shareholders, employees, suppliers and com-
munities count on us to uphold these commitments and we
know that the company's longevity depends on this. Our
Code of Conduct serves as a reference for the behavior
expected from all employees. After familiarizing themselves
with the content of this document, they participate in peri-
odic training sessions to reinforce the importance of being
in line with the company's commitments regarding ethics in
business, the environment, people and communities.
For our supply chain, we put into effect the Code of Conduct
for Suppliers, a conductive line on the way we expect our
partners to act. With the Ethics Line, we maintain a confi-
dential means of voicing complaints and concerns regarding
witnessed or experienced inappropriate attitudes on behalf
of any audience we relate with, whether internal or external.
Ethics line GRI 103-2
We encourage our employees to report any violation act
or situation that is not in line with our Code of Ethics and
Conduct. Cargill does not tolerate retaliations against any-
one who, in good faith, reports having witnessed or having
been a victim of an infraction, and also foresees sanctions
against those who make false accusations. We take griev-
ances on malpractice seriously and act as swiftly, impartially
and confidentially as possible. Our codes of conduct explain
how to identify situations of risk and how to report any mani-
festation thereof.
We have an exclusive channel for those who need to report
problems, raise concerns in an anonymous way or fear for
their safety and confidentiality. The Ethics Line refers the
grievances it receives through this system by e-mail or tele-
phone directly to an outside and independent institution,
which analyzes the facts and makes recommendations to
the board of Cargill.
