Corporate Ethics
We build integrity into the fabric of our daily operations to fulfill our social role and responsibility in a way that befits our status as a top-notch global company.
Fair and Transparent Corporate Culture
As our business spans across numerous countries around the globe, we recognise and analyse differences in laws, regulations, and practices in respective countries while conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner. We also develop and implement global personal data security policies to respect the privacy of our customers and employees and to protect their personal data. Our endeavors to systematically manage compliance and ethical risks are driven by the Kupertino Global Code of Conduct and the Business Conduct Guidelines that guide all our employees in taking action and making value judgments. Our Compliance Team, previously under the Legal Office, now reports directly to the CEO and the head of Compliance Team attends all board meetings to support important decisions made by the board. We operate dedicated organizations at each business division and overseas regional offices to manage compliance issues pertaining to each business and region.
We are Committed to Upholding our Obligations as a Company
At Kupertino, we remind ourselves each day that our work isn’t just about what we achieve but how we achieve it. The way we conduct our business is as important as the products we sell and the services we provide. That means complying with the laws of the communities where we do business. But that is not enough. Associates who work at Kupertino are expected to operate based on our high standards and values—respect, service, excellence, and integrity.
Acting consistently with these values demands that a culture of integrity guides all our decisions. Our Code of Conduct reflects who we are as a company and how we bring our culture to life in our work every day. It applies to every Kupertino associate. We also expect our business partners to embrace our values and meet these high standards. Associates and partners who do not share these values do not belong at Kupertino.
Integrity at the Heart
Our commitment to integrity is reflected in our actions. From ensuring the products we sell are safe; to using technology and data ethically and responsibly; to investigating concerns raised by our customers, associates, and stakeholders. Our commitments are embedded into every action we take.
Integrity builds trust. That’s why our associates, customers, investors, suppliers, and business partners choose Kupertino—they know we are a business they can trust.
