Ethical Conduct

Integrity and our commitment to ethical conduct is a core value.

From our Board of Directors to the frontlines, our Code of Conduct and Business Principles sets out clear responsibilities and expectations for conduct across every aspect of our business.

Our Code is comprehensive and spans all aspects of business conduct in the workplace, global marketplace to our communities. It addresses critical areas such as child labor, health and safety and freedom of association; lawful competition, bribery and corruption, and responsible sourcing; protection of company assets; employee activities and volunteerism, political activities; and, enshrines our responsibility to our local communities.

We strive to ensure that everyone at GAM understands and adheres to the Code through our enterprise-wide compliance program, which includes employee training and acknowledgement.

A broad range of reporting mechanisms are in place should ethical concerns arise. Employees have access to a third-party, anonymous, and confidential whistleblower hotline via the GAM Compliance Hotline available in all languages spoken across our business.

Responsibility for the Code resides with GAM’s Chief Compliance Officer in consultation with the CEO. Oversight resides with the Audit and Risk Committee of the GAM’s Board of Directors.
