Avanade Code of Business Ethics (CoBE)

Our ethical compass to realize results for our clients and their customers the ethical way – which, to us at Avanade, is the only way.

Avanade’s ethical compass

The Avanade Code of Business Ethics describes and reinforces conduct that is based on our guiding core values, consistent with our policies and practices, and essential to Avanade’s legal and regulatory compliance obligations. In a digital world, where rules are being defined as people go along, Avanade clients can count on Avanade and its people to protect their data with individual and specific plans. Employees can count on Avanade and each other to provide a safe and supportive environment where they are treated fairly and with respect. Alliance partners, including our parent companies, Accenture and Microsoft, can count on Avanade to be a leading digital innovator with a strong reputation for trustworthiness.

The Avanade Code of Business Ethics (CoBE) is the compass that guides each of Avanade’s employees and contractors to live Avanade’s corporate values fully, to uphold company policies and to adhere to legal requirements. The CoBE sets clear expectations of what it means to innovate at Avanade, provides specific examples and points to helpful resources. The Avanade CoBE helps us realize results for our clients and their customers the ethical way – which, to us at Avanade, is the only way.
