A message from Russell Fradin, Chairman and CEO
Hewitt has a commitment to high ethical standards -- a commitment that has long been an important part of our history and culture. Preserving these standards has never been more important than in today’s competitive and rapidly changing business climate.
As we continue to grow our business, welcome new associates, and expand our services around the world, we will face challenging ethical dilemmas. Hewitt’s Code of Conduct represents our principles and our expectation that associates will act ethically and remain above reproach at all times. We need to ensure our ethical approach to business remains consistent and is widely understood.
Our Code of Conduct helps ensure that we can preserve our high ethical standards and abide by legislation governing publicly held corporations. Although we can’t anticipate every ethical situation or decision we might face, our Code serves as a consistent guideline for how we work with our clients, each other, and our business partners and communities.
Each associate at Hewitt is expected to read the Code thoroughly, adhere to both the intent and the spirit of what it says, and use it as a guide to make the right decisions and do the right thing -- for our clients, our associates, and our stockholders. By doing so, we can preserve the high ethical standards that have helped fuel our past success and will contribute to our success in the future, and in the process make Hewitt and the world a better place to work.
Russell Fradin
Chairman and CEO
