Governance at Smiths is supported by a number of internal and external policies for the Company, Board, employees and those doing business with Smiths to comply with. This aligns expectations within the business and enables colleagues to see and appreciate our unwavering commitment to ethical business behaviour.
Our policies include an outline of the purpose, scope and applicability. The Board reviews a number of policies during the year and delegates authority to the business to approve and cascade others. An internal document repository exists for all Group and divisional colleagues to access. This aligns expectations within the business and allows colleagues to see how seriously Smiths takes undertaking business ethically.
