QHolland has developed an approach where a Code of Conduct is developed by tailoring it towards content that are really relevant to the organization. Topics are compared with an industry benchmark and then finalized together with the relevant users of the Code.

This will bring an up-to-date, relevant but above all, a practical Code of Conduct that works.

Every few years an organization should evaluate if the Code is still up to date with the current environment and consider a refresh of the content and the implementation. Updating the Code of Conduct is a good way to increase the awareness on ethics and the core values.
