Ethics & Compliance

    Conducting business in an ethical, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable manner must be embedded in every aspect of our business. 

    We recognise that how and what we do to achieve our success, is just as important as success itself. Upholding high standards of behaviour is fundamental to the values and culture of Olam, and central to earning and maintaining the trust of our investors, customers, suppliers, employees, communities and other stakeholders.

    To strengthen our ethical and compliance standards, we have established the Olam Ethical Business Programme (EBP). This sets out the standards and behaviours firmly expected, which are detailed in the Olam Code of Conduct, as well as our specific policies which apply to all businesses within The Olam Group.

    Code of Conduct

    Our Code of Conduct sets out our commitment to “do what is right”, founded on the values and everyday behaviours that build our distinctive culture and setting the standard for what it means to be part of Olam. The Code is available to download in multiple languages.

    Whistleblowing

    We strive to uphold high standards of behaviour and compliance, and we encourage employees and anyone outside the company who suspects wrongdoing, or who has serious concerns, to raise a complaint through the Olam whistleblowing channel.

    All reports are treated seriously and properly investigated so that appropriate actions, where necessary, can be taken. We do not tolerate retaliation against those who raise a complaint in good faith and the procedures set out in Whistleblowing Policy are designed to ensure anonymity and protection.

    Anyone wishing to anonymously raise a complaint can do so via the Olam Whistleblowing channel.

    Our goal is to provide marketing communications about food and beverage products that empower consumers to make informed choices that support a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
