Ethics and values 

Ethics

Our ability to create value depends on maintaining high ethical standards, and we are determined to be known for these.

We regard ethics as an integral part of our business activities, and act within the law and well within our own ethical principles.

We require high ethical standards of everyone who acts on our behalf and will maintain an open dialogue on ethical issues, both in-house and externally. We also expect our business partners to have ethical standards compatible with our own.

Our code of ethical conduct describes the requirements which apply to our business practices.

Together with our values statement, it constitutes the basis and framework for the values-based performance culture we want to develop.

Our values

Our values embody the spirit and energy of StatoilHydro at its best.

Our values base is essential to our success over time in a competitive environment.

Our values are at the core of our management system. They drive our performance and guide us in how we do business and how we work together and towards external stakeholders.

We are not willing to compromise on our values, either in words or actions.

We will build an even stronger StatoilHydro.
