Our Code guides how we work
For every Northstar employee, across our offices and frontline locations.
This fictional gallery example shows how a Code of Conduct can help people make sound, respectful choices. The authoritative Code, local requirements, and acknowledgment are in Policy Hub.
The essentials
A few practical principles to keep in view.
Treat people with respect
Make work interactions professional, fair, and free from harassment or intimidation.
- Do not dismiss or target someone because of who they are.
- Raise conduct that makes work unsafe or disrespectful.
Protect fair decisions
Notice when a personal relationship, financial interest, or outside role could affect—or appear to affect—a work decision.
- Pause and disclose a possible conflict before the decision.
- Ask for guidance when the connection is unclear.
Check before accepting
A gift or invitation may be subject to rules that depend on location, role, and business context.
- Check the applicable Policy Hub policy before responding.
- Pause when an offer is tied to a pending decision.
