Code of Conduct

The G&P Code of Conduct defines the standards expected of everyone representing or working with the firm — including employees, contractors, suppliers, and partners. It sets out how G&P conducts business: ethically, responsibly, and in alignment with legal and professional obligations in Australia and New Zealand.

Code of Ethics for Professionals

‍

The Code of Ethics defines the principles that guide Galloway & Pierce’s decisions and behaviour. It reflects the firm’s commitment to acting with integrity, maintaining trust with clients and partners, and advancing ethical procurement and supplier engagement across industries in Australia and New Zealand.

‍

Where the Code of Conduct outlines rules of behaviour, the Code of Ethics establishes the values and moral foundations that shape judgment and decision-making.

• Act honestly, fairly, and transparently in all dealings. Represent information accurately and avoid misrepresentation or selective disclosure. Maintain professionalism in every client and supplier interaction.
