Code of conduct

We reaffirm our commitment to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards in journalism. Ensuring the quality and reliability of the information we deliver to our readers is crucial for our business success.

As a media for business information focusing on emerging markets, we follow the standards in IPSO's Code of Conduct with particular attention to the following principles:

Financial journalism

  1. Even where the law does not prohibit it, journalists must not use for their own profit financial information they receive in advance of its general publication, nor should they pass such information to others.
  2. They must not write about shares or securities in whose performance they know that they or their close families have a significant financial interest without disclosing the interest to the editor or financial editor.
  3. They must not buy or sell, either directly or through nominees or agents, shares or securities about which they have written recently or about which they intend to write in the near future.
