Our Values and our Code of Conduct underpin our commitment to establishing and maintaining long-term meaningful relationships with our stakeholders, including governments and employees. The MMG Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour expected from all MMG employees, contractors and suppliers. The Code of Conduct covers areas such as conflict of interest, fraud, anti-corruption and legal compliance.
Matters relating to the Code of Conduct are overseen by the Code of Conduct Committee. We also engage an independent confidential whistleblower service provider, which is available to all employees globally in their local language.

Because of this we seek to match good governance with a commitment to transparency initiatives, such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR).
