Our Commitment

Kingfisher is fully committed to conducting its business with high ethical standards. The Kingfisher Code of Conduct sets out our personal and shared responsibilities for meeting high ethical standards and helps to promote a culture where transparency, honesty and fairness are the norm.

It contains our commitment to comply with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, as well as to compete fairly and not to tolerate any form of modern slavery. It underpins a set of five core integrity policies (anti-bribery and anti-corruption, whistleblowing, fair competition, sanctions and preventing facilitation of tax evasion), which set out the vision for how we want to behave and comply with laws and regulations applicable across the Group.

We want you to feel comfortable in approaching your supervisor or management in instances where you believe violations of policies or standards have occurred.
