Working Globally
Working globally can raise additional compliance and ethics issues because local business practices and cultural practices vary. While Ryan Specialty respects the norms of our Trading Partners and colleagues throughout the world, you must remain cognizant of the applicable laws and regulations for where you are conducting business on behalf of Ryan Specialty.
Nothing in Ryan Specialty’s Code is intended to restrict a U.S.- based Employee’s rights to engage in protected concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act as to their own terms and conditions of employment.
Integrity
Ryan Specialty depends on you to conduct yourself responsibly, consistent with the law and Ryan Specialty’s core values. When we all act in this way, we enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of ourselves, our profession, and Ryan Specialty.
Reporting
Employees have the opportunity to help Ryan Specialty improve every time a question is asked or a concern raised. When you seek clarification of a policy or report questionable conduct, you are protecting your colleagues and the reputation of Ryan Specialty. Remember, an issue cannot be addressed unless someone knows about it.
Avoid Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest may occur when our personal interest or activities affect our ability to make objective decisions on behalf of Ryan Specialty. We must avoid situations that not only create an actual conflict, but even the appearance of a conflict.
Each of us is responsible for staying true to our Purpose, living our Values, and following our Code.
