Download the Santos Code of Conduct

APPLYING THE CODE OF CONDUCT
This Code of Conduct should be viewed as a guide that helps us make
sound and responsible decisions about the way we undertake our business
activities. It is not possible to clearly define every situation in which we
may need to make a decision as to the appropriate conduct, or to define
every law to which Santos will be subject. It is likely that we will face
situations that are not covered by this Code nor specifically detailed in
company policy.
When facing such situations, you should ask yourself the following
questions:
4Am I authorised to make the decision?
4Is the action legal? Does it contravene local or national laws,
regulations or international standards? Could I justify it in court?
4Is my decision in keeping with the spirit of Santos’ values, expected
conduct, policies and procedures?
4How would the decision look if published in a national or international
newspaper?
4Would I feel comfortable explaining my decision to my family and
friends?
4Does it feel right?
In this document, you will find examples of some situations or decisions
people at Santos may face and possible responses to help you understand
your responsibilities.
If in doubt about any of these questions or how to respond in a given
situation, you should seek guidance or help from your leader, Human
Resources representative, General Counsel or the Company Secretary.
