The difference between a code of ethics and a code of conduct:

A code of ethics is broad, giving employees or members a general idea of what types of behaviours and decisions are acceptable and encouraged at a business or organisation. A code of conduct is more focused. It defines how employees or members should act in specific situations.

Code of Ethics

• Inclusivity:
  We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, colour, immigration status, sex, age, family status, size, political belief, religion and mental and physical ability.
• Be considerate:
  We all depend on each other to produce the best work we can. Your decisions will affect clients and colleagues and other users of our facilities, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions.
• Be respectful:
  We won’t agree all of the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful
  behaviour. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration become personal attacks. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.
• Choose your words carefully:
  Always conduct yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Harassment and exclusionary behaviour aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Threats of violence
• Insubordination
• Discriminatory jokes and language
• Sharing sexually explicit or violent material via electronic devices or other means
• Personal insults, especially those using racist and sexual terms
• Unwelcome sexual attention
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
• Don’t harass.                                                                                                                                In general, if someone asks you to stop something, then stop. When we disagree, try to  understand why. Differences of opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable.  What is important is that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
