Good decisions through discussion
Does my decision comply with our Code, our policies and applicable law?
Proceed
Don't do it.
Is my decision consistent with our Guiding Principles?
Proceed
Don't do it.
Would I be okay with everyone knowing about my decision?
Proceed
Don't do it.
If you can answer “YES” to each of these questions, then you are probably on the right course.
If you are not sure the answer is “YES” or think the answer might be “NO,” then you should seek guidance from your manager or one of the other resources listed in our Code.
“Doing the right thing and winning the right way are clearly embedded in Cargill’s culture. We all can support this culture through thoughtful decision-making and building a strong compliance foundation that equals our ethical spirit. Together, our ethics and compliance define us, and will be a key factor in our vision to become the most trusted partner in agriculture, food and nutrition.”
