Code at a Glance
Our Code of Conduct provides principles, expectations, and resources to help us do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
- We comply with all applicable laws, our Code, and GM policies; when unsure, we seek guidance from people leaders, Legal Staff, Compliance, or other internal resources.
- We put safety first—identifying, reporting, and escalating vehicle and workplace safety concerns immediately.
- We never retaliate against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we cooperate fully and truthfully with investigations.
- We treat colleagues with dignity and respect, help maintain a harassment-free workplace, and make decisions without discrimination.
- We avoid conflicts of interest, disclose any actual or potential conflicts promptly, and follow decisions made to manage them.
- We protect GM’s confidential and proprietary information, use technology responsibly, follow cybersecurity best practices, and never place GM Secret or Confidential Information into unapproved tools (including external AI).
- We safeguard personal information, follow global privacy and data-protection laws, and incorporate privacy-by-design principles in our products and services.
- We compete honestly and fairly—never exchanging competitively sensitive information with competitors or making agreements that restrict competition.
- We prohibit bribery and improper gifts, keep accurate records, and exercise integrity with government officials and entities.
- We follow export controls, sanctions, and classification rules, verify business partners, and document transactions accurately.
- We speak on GM’s behalf only when authorized and uphold a safe community by not physically harming or threatening physical harm, including on social media.
