Ethics and compliance

Ethical, transparent and accountable industry

A moral involvement in everything we do and are is what sets us apart. As an organisation, we operate on the basis of a rigorous code of ethics that informs our decisions and processes and underpins our value proposition of being the best partner for customers, co-operators and the human team.

Our ethical values are our corporate culture

SPB cultureRespect for legal and industry standards and the code of ethics is part of our training culture. The SPB team works in line with values and demands.
Intentions put into actionWe set up an Ethics and Compliance Committee to ensure compliance with our Code of Ethics and Conduct and General Compliance Policy. The compliance officer acts independently and with the necessary resources in their work to support the Committee.
