How to Use The Code T o make good decisions Making good decisions and ethical choices builds trust between each of us and the people we interact with every day. Not all situations you encounter are straightforward — how do you make the best choice when facing difficult or unclear circumstances? How do you navigate ethical dilemmas? While this Code will not tell you exactly what to do in every situation, it serves as a guide to help you make good decisions and navigate complex situations where the answer might not always be clear. 6 When faced with a difficult decision or situation follow these steps: 1. Pause. Does a situation make you uneasy? Are your instincts telling you something is not quite right? Pause before you act and consider how to approach the situation. 2. Think. Is your approach consistent with BBNC’s culture and values? Does it build or maintain trust? Never sacrifice long- term reputation and trust for a short-term benefit. 3. Ask. There are numerous resources available to you. We encourage to start with your supervisor or company’s General Manager.
