Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) is committed to the highest ethical conduct in all its activities. The AECL Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the Code) to maintain a work environment that fosters fairness and integrity. AECL’s Code flows from our Mandate; what we are empowered to do; Vision, what we aspire to do; and Values, our desired behaviours.

These key elements are of paramount importance in providing framework for our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. They are integral to our corporate culture and ensure good corporate governance.

AECL expects all employees to conduct themselves in accordance with this Code and it will hold employees accountable for their conduct. This policy outlines the standards of behaviour AECL expects from its employees. Employees should consult their supervisor whenever in doubt as to the appropriate course of conduct. Those who do not comply with the Code will be subject to disciplinary measures up to and including dismissal and/or legal action.

Please take the time to read the Code and keep it where you can refer to it as necessary.

Jean-Pierre Soublière
Acting Chair of the Board
