These principles are not new, but are a more comprehensiveversion of the statements previously set out in the MBDA Operational Framework.The Code of Ethics is implemented through policies and procedures, both at Groupand National level.The Code should help us all determine how to act if we are ever in doubt. Itcannot describe every situation and what action to take. However, we are allresponsible for our actions.Consequently, I do invite you to read this document carefully and use it as a guidein your daily work.If you do come across anything which you are not sure about because it seemswrong or you need advice, do not hesitate to speak up without fear of reprisal.Our reputation and future business success depend on each of us conducting ourbusiness and actions in a responsible way.The Code of Ethics is a tool to meet this goal and sets forth the behavioursexpected of each of us. I rely on you to use it.Antoine Bouvier
