Code of Conduct
To promote awareness and understanding of the standards of conduct that BC Hydro expects, the Board of Directors has approved a Director and Employee Code of Conduct.
The code provides general guidance on standards of conduct, including guidelines on conflict of interest, as well as requirements associated with confidential information, entertainment and gifts, environment and safety, and use of BC Hydro property.
The Code also includes guidelines applicable to BC Hydro contractors, consultants and suppliers, and procedures for exemptions. No exemptions were granted to directors for the year ended March 31, 2008.
