Governance and Ethics

Kellogg Company's culture encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with all applicable laws, company policies and our K Values™. The most important factor in creating and reinforcing such a culture is the commitment of corporate leadership, particularly at the Board and senior management levels.

In addition to our K Values™, a Global Code of Ethics guides the business practices of all Kellogg employees worldwide. Substantially all employees with access to company computers complete our annual Compliance and Ethics Training, which is conducted in 13 languages and has been in place since 2000. The 2009 training focused on the EU's competition/antitrust law, data safeguarding, intellectual property and, for new employees, our Code of Conduct.
