“Ethics is a core part of PwC’s culture and brand. Maintaining a strong ethical culture is key to how we approach our relationships with clients, stakeholders and each other to deliver our PwC Purpose - Helping us to create a positive change in society. I invite you to learn more about our ethics and compliance programme and the leaders who are committed to upholding these principles.”
Nicola Shield,

“Living our purpose and values at PwC means behaving properly in everything we do. It’s critical that we support a Speak Up culture for our own people, our clients and other stakeholders, so that we all feel safe raising a question or concern and know that it will be handled with confidentiality and objectivity. Together, we cultivate and maintain a respectful and ethical workplace that’s at the heart of PwC.”
Our Code of Conduct (Code) sets out what’s expected of us. It outlines our core principles—integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. It shows how we should turn principles into actions and holds us accountable to always give our best.
