Living by our ethical compass

Acting with integrity - the Code of Ethics & Conduct

Our Code of Ethics & Conduct (“the Code”) details the ethical values we hold and describes the expectations of our people and those with whom we work.

The Code helps our employees around the world to make the right choices and to act appropriately in response to ethical dilemmas they may encounter in their daily work. The Code has been translated into local languages and applies to all employees.

The Code is extensive but not exhaustive, so it does not address every possible situation. We therefore expect our employees to exercise sound judgement in their decision-making in order to adhere to the highest ethical standards.

Don’t Stay Silent – Speak Up for a Better Today and Tomorrow

At Carlsberg we're dedicated to conduct business with integrity, in a responsible and ethical manner.

Being honest, compliant, having a sense of responsibility and showing people respect define our Code of Ethics & Conduct. Therefore, we have a process for speaking up about potential violations of our Code of Ethics & Conduct, policies or applicable laws.

We know that speaking up might not be an easy choice due to fear of retaliation. To address that, we implemented anti-retaliation measures to protect those who raise concerns in good faith. You may find information about anti-retaliation measures and further guidance and information on the process and channels for raising a concern in the SpeakUp Manual.
