"Ethics" and "Respect" are the two values which represent what is important for our Group today.  They unite us and define our culture: how we make decisions and how we act on them. Through "Ethics and Respect" UniCredit generates long term, sustainable value from our business activities.

We aim to create a diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone has the opportunity to contribute to our success. Our values are reflected in our human resource policies, which actively promote the full respect of the rights, value and dignity of people and the environment, making us an employer of choice.

 

"The spirit of ethics and respect: Do the right thing! is extremely important and should guide us in our daily decision-making and behaviors. It clarifies expectations about how to work as One Team, One UniCredit and supports us in the fulfilment of our five fundamentals, which are more important than ever. We must all lead by example on this and: Do the right thing!"

Jean Pierre Mustier, UniCredit CEO

 

Ethics and Respect - guidance in our day to day activities

• "Ethics and respect" guide interactions amongst all colleagues, throughout the Group. 
  Everyone is expected to contribute in their daily activities toward creating and maintaining a work environment that is as respectful and harmonious as possible.
•  "Ethics and respect" enshrine the promotion of diversity and work-life balance, key to our Group. 
  We want to create an environment in which respect for, and attention to, colleagues' needs, health, and well-being are deemed essential to achieving sustainable results.
• "Ethics and respect" strengthen our "speak-up culture" and protect against retaliation so that colleagues and third parties feel comfortable engaging in open and honest communication. 
  We encourage them to speak up without fear of retaliation relating to any situation that may involve unethical or illegal conduct or inappropriate interactions with others.
• "Ethics and respect" apply to all Group business policies of sustainability and  stakeholder interaction, enabling the achievement of sustainable business success and long-term targets. 
  Targets and other business results are not considered achieved if they are not met in compliance with the Group Principles.
• "Ethics and respect" mean fairness towards all stakeholders, at all times, to achieve sustainable results. 
  UniCredit colleagues, irrespective of seniority, responsibility and geographical area, are expected to do the right thing in their daily activities and to be fair towards all stakeholders to gain and retain their trust.
