QBE is an international insurer and reinsurer, operating in various regions, countries and markets. We have a common purpose and vision, shared across the enterprise, and are committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity.
Our Code of Ethics and Conduct (“Code”) supports that commitment by establishing professional standards and ethical behaviour that apply to all employees at QBE. These include:
• Behaving with honesty and integrity and adhering to QBE procedures and applicable laws in the jurisdictions where we operate.
• Exercising good judgement and behaving in a professional, courteous, honest and respectful manner. At QBE, we do not engage in, condone or permit behaviour that is offensive, harassing (including sexual harassment), threatening, inappropriate, abusive, bullying or intimidating.
• Completing all mandatory training.
• Being aware of and managing relevant risks.
Everyone at QBE is required to comply with our Code and encouraged to speak up and report any genuine concerns or behaviours that do not meet its standards. Multiple reporting channels are available, including People Leaders, senior management, local People, Legal or Compliance teams, and the QBE Ethics Hotline (where available).
