CODE OF CONDUCT
 The
MTR Code
of Conduct sets out the policies and practices that the Company has
developed to deal responsibly with its internal and external stakeholders.
It explains MTR's business philosophy and values governing staff conduct
in achieving business goals. The aim of the Code is to sustain a high
level of integrity in all aspects of the Corporations operations.
Following the publication of Code of Conduct in 2002, MTR has carried
out extensive training and a communication campaign to ensure all levels
of staff understand the content of the Code and the philosophy of an ethical
working culture. All staff were issued a personal copy of the Code of
Conduct. Each manager was also issued a Corporate Guidebook for Managers
with particular examples for better illustration and communication with
staff.
To promote similar practices with contractors and to make it available
for interested shareholders, customers and interested parties, the Company
has placed the Code of Conduct on the MTR website for public access.
The Code of Conduct focuses on the following areas: Ethics in management;
Bribery, illegal gifts, entertainment and commissions; Conflict of interests;
Relationship with suppliers, contractors, consultants and interfacing
parties; Responsibilities to shareholders and the financial community;
Relationship with customers; Relationship with employees; Health and safety;
Responsibilities to the community; and Monitoring of compliance &
the means of enforcement.
