WHO IS COVERED BY THE CODE?

Our Code governs all of our business decisions and actions regardless of where we are located in the world and it applies to team members, members of Tyson’s Board of Directors, our subsidiaries, and the joint ventures over which we have majority ownership and/or management control (including every team member, officer and director of such joint ventures).

All team members and members of the Board of Directors are responsible for complying with our Code, company policies and the law. We are also responsible for completing our annual compliance training curriculum and certifying that we understand and agree to follow this Code.

KNOWING & DOING WHAT’S RIGHT

Our Code attempts to address the most common legal and ethical issues you may encounter. It’s impossible to address every situation in one document. Before making a decision, STOP and ASK yourself the questions below, and ASK for guidance if you still are unsure.

DOING BUSINESS GLOBALLY

We do business in multiple countries around the world, and our team members represent many nationalities. We respect our team members’ diverse cultures and commit to complying with local laws.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATIONS

Any team member or member of the Board of Directors who violates our Code, company policies or laws will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination

When deciding whether an action is ethical and in compliance with our Code
Ask yourself Icon Ask yourself:

  • Is my decision legal?
  • Will my decision comply with Tyson’s Core Values?
  • Will my decision reflect the culture and reputation of Tyson as a whole?
  • Is it consistent with how I want to be treated?
  • Will my decision feel right?
  • If my decision is posted online or if my family knew it, will I still feel good about my decision?
