Ethical Standards

Our Code of Conduct

Our Code applies to everyone at Ingredion and its affiliates around the world, including employees, contract workers, agents, company officers, and Directors. In some cases the Code applies to third parties and others working on the company’s behalf.

Living our values

Our Code of Conduct provides guidance on the ethical behaviours that drive our business decisions. It promotes a common understanding of right and wrong across our company, wherever we operate. Remember:

In a competitive business environment, no document or policy can answer every question in every situation
Speak up! Bring questions about situations not discussed in this Code (or that may arise in your interactions with customers, team members, suppliers, or others), to your manager, the Legal Department, the Business Integrity Committee, or Human Resources Department, or contact the Business Ethics Line
Communicate to contractors, agents, and other business partners that they are expected to uphold the standards of our Code of Conduct when working with or on behalf of Ingredion

Compliance with policies, laws, and regulations

Our Code of Conduct provides the framework for how we work as a company. We must follow the Code of Conduct AND the policies, laws, and regulations that apply to our work and the countries where we do business. Note that our policies reflect the laws of the countries where we do business and may be more stringent than other laws require.

Business integrity, ethics, and compliance programme

The mission of our compliance programme is to support and foster Ingredion’s culture of integrity and compliance with the law, consistent with the company’s values.

If you are unsure what laws or policies apply to your work, ask a manager, HR, Legal, or Business Integrity, or contact the Business Ethics Line. We all have a duty to speak up if we are unsure what to do, have a concern, or if we see or suspect a violation of policy or law.
