Code of Conduct - McCain Foods Limited

The Way We Do Business
The Code of Conduct Certificate of Acknowledgement
New Employees:
As a condition of employment, all new employees are required to sign a Certificate of
Acknowledgement, which states:
I have received and read the McCain Foods’ Code of Conduct and understand that I have an obligation to
comply with it.
If there is any section of the Code that you do not understand, ask your manager or local Human
Resources team for clarification. The McCain Learning Centre offers an online version of the Code
that is free and easy to follow. Ensure that you understand the Code before you sign this Certificate
of Acknowledgement.
Employee Recertification:
All current employees will be required to sign a Certificate of Acknowledgement each time the
Code is redistributed. In addition, employees in specific positions may be required to complete and
sign an annual certificate confirming that they have complied with the Code. Individuals who do not
complete certificates may be subject to disciplinary action.
The Code and the Law
Our actions are scrutinized daily by customers, suppliers, fellow employees and shareholders who
want and expect to be associated with an ethical and law-abiding company. Without exception,
McCain Foods is committed to strictly observing all laws applicable to it or its operations. Failure to
comply may subject the Company and the individual or individuals involved to substantial civil and
criminal penalties.
Compliance with the law is the minimum required standard of conduct in all Company
affairs.
As McCain Foods is incorporated in Canada, our employees around the world are often subject
to Canadian laws. Other countries also may apply their laws outside their borders to Company
operations and personnel. If you are uncertain what laws apply, consult your local Legal team before
proceeding.
