6 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. Question or concern? Talk to your local Human Resources team or email codeconnection@mccain.com.
The Way We Do Business Raising Concerns If you observe behaviour that may represent a violation of our Code, raise the issue promptly. We all have an obligation to hold our colleagues responsible to the standards of the Code. Resources If you need to make an informed legal or ethical decision, but cannot find the answers within the Code, contact your supervisor, local Human Resources, Legal or Finance teams for assistance. As additional resources, McCain’s global leaders are available to all employees for assistance and information with regard to the Code and the interpretation of policies, laws and regulations. All communication with these team leads will be treated with discretion. A contact list is located at the back of this booklet. Code Connection If you feel that reporting a possible violation to your local management team or the Company’s global leaders is not an option, you are encouraged to call Code Connection. Code Connection, available 24 hours a day with translation services, offers an alternate reporting process whereby you may remain anonymous. Please refer to Code Connection regional numbers at the back of this booklet (Code Connection is not available in Continental Europe due to laws in that region).
