At AEV, ethics and integrity are at the core of everything we do. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets the standards for how we behave individually and collectively as we work with our colleagues, clients, suppliers, business partners, shareholders, and communities.
The Code reflects our core values and provides practical guidance to help ensure that our decisions and actions are aligned with the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct. It also supports open communication by providing avenues for employees to seek guidance, raise concerns, and report possible misconduct without fear of retaliation.
