Code of Conduct

The people of GXS have long been dedicated to the highest standards of ethical business conduct. And, building on that tradition, we must continually strengthen our reputation for integrity and excellence in the marketplace by ensuring that dedication to ethical conduct always guides our actions as we compete in an increasingly challenging business environment.

While our company and the world in which we operate have changed greatly and will continue to change with unprecedented speed, one thing remains constant: The core ethical values that are the foundation of our commitment to competitive excellence. I ask each person in the GXS community to personally commit to these values and to comply with both the spirit and the letter of GXS’s Code of Conduct and Integrity Policies. Remember that nothing — not competitiveness, direct orders from a superior, or “making the numbers” — should ever compromise your commitment to integrity.

As we face the many challenges posed by today’s global marketplace, we are fortunate to share a longstanding tradition of ethical conduct in the pursuit of competitive success. I urge you to honor that tradition as we move forward and to understand that maintaining an unyielding commitment to integrity is more important now than it has ever been.
