We understand that both our clients and our employees expect only ethical behavior and compliance with all governing laws, rules and regulations that arise from involvement with our Company. To reinforce this commitment to all, we have established and practice within a Corporate Ethics and Compliance Program that demands we maintain only the highest standards of conduct. When we look out for our client’s interests as well as the Company’s, we ensure our continued success, which, in turn, ensures each employee’s ability to succeed independently and as part of a team.

To assist all Barnard employees in our day-to-day work, whether in the office or in the field, we have developed the Barnard Ethics and Compliance Program, which includes a handbook, an online certification course, and a hotline should anyone want to report a concern anonymously. We have also established a review committee to ensure that this program remains current with applicable laws and regulations and to look into concerns that arise. We have a Corporate Compliance Officer charged with overseeing the program. These resources provide all who work here with the means and information needed to accomplish their work in an ethical and lawful manner and the contacts or resources they may need should they run up against something they may question.
