Putting Credibility Into a Code of Conduct

Academi is about to release a new Code of Conduct, which should go a long way towards assuring people that when it comes to responsible ethical behavior, Academi is putting serious internal oversight where its mouth is...Academi's new code...runs 33 pages. By comparison, the...International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers runs 16 pages...[T]he duration of the process that led up to the code is a sign of the seriousness with which Academi undertook the process. According to...Academi's General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer...the process started...in 2010. The new owners wanted to make sure the company had strong commitment to ethical behavior and respect for human rights...The goal was to create "best in class" when it comes to legal regulatory capability. [refers to Blackwater, Xe, DynCorp, Price Waterhouse Coopers]
