Our Code of Conduct

Our Code is not a list of rules. It is a practical resource that provides a blueprint for ethical decisions and actions. By reading and understanding our Code, we learn how to act in accordance with our Values—even when we are faced with difficult situations. Our Code helps us protect our business, create and sustain a strong company culture, and ensure our success. 

It is important to remember that our Code of Conduct itself is incapable of action and is not responsible for these outcomes; we are.

Antitrust Compliance

On [[DATE]], the Federal District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina entered a consent order (“Stipulated Order”) prohibiting Corteva, Inc. (“Corteva”) from offering active-ingredient-based loyalty programs where the customer must purchase more than 50% of its overall requirements of certain active ingredients from Corteva to qualify for a payment or other benefit. This prohibition applies to new and existing agreements or loyalty programs offered by Corteva. The Stipulated Order also prohibits Corteva from retaliating against customers who decide to purchase or sell certain active ingredients offered by generic competitors along with (or instead of) Corteva’s products.

The Stipulated Order resolves a December 2022 amended complaint brought by the United States Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) and the states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin, acting by and through their respective Attorneys General (collectively, “Plaintiffs”). The Stipulated Order does not constitute an admission by Corteva that it has violated the law or that any of the facts alleged by Plaintiffs regarding Corteva’s conduct are true.
