We form part of Stagecoach Group, which has a clear set of values which underpin the business and are firmly embedded in our culture.
The Code of Business Conduct confirms our core values and policies in a number of areas: how we deal with our employees, suppliers, customers, competitors, and the wider communities in which we work. These values apply to every director, manager and employee in all our companies across our global operations.
Stagecoach Group's Code of Business Conduct outlines our company's policies on:
- Compliance with laws and regulations

- Confidentiality and inside information
- Disclosure
- Equal opportunities
- Human Rights
- Freedom of Association

The document is approved by and has the full support of the Stagecoach Board. It is about rights and responsibilities. It is not just a set of aspirations; it is about how we do business in the real world. Through the commitment of our people, we believe this code will enhance our relationship with our stakeholders. Our reputation is critical to the success of our business and we believe that good ethics makes good business sense.
