AES is proud to be a global company. We operate in many different countries with a wide range of economic, political, social, and cultural customs and traditions. But no matter where we do business, we strive to operate ethically and with the highest regard for local and international laws.

At the core of our business are AES’s Values. You can read about our Values in our Code of Conduct, which we refer to as our Values Guide. The Values Guide sets forth the responsibilities that AES people have to each other, to our business partners and suppliers, to our customers, to our owners, and to the communities where we operate. At AES, we believe our Values are not mere words. We endeavor to translate our Values from words to action. And we require everyone who acts on our behalf – including AES people, business partners, consultants, agents, suppliers, and others – to operate consistent with our Values and with applicable local and international laws.

The AES Ethics and Compliance Program is an integral part of AES’s business and culture. The AES Ethics and Compliance Program defines AES business practices and expectations worldwide. Business results are never more important than conducting our business consistent with our Ethics and Compliance Program. For that reason, we promote a values-based environment and encourage an open dialogue on ethical issues and business practices, internally and externally.

To address questions, concerns, or comments, AES operates a helpline that is available worldwide twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
