Ivey Executive Education – Professional Code of Conduct 
As
 members of the Ivey Executive Education family and the wider Ivey Business 
School community, faculty, clients, program participants and staff 
members are expected to comply with Ivey Executive Education Professional Code 
of Conduct. The objective of this Code is to promote both a work and 
learning environment, which adhere to the highest standards of integrity
 and conduct.  
The Ivey community welcomes 
individuals of different ages, socio-economic backgrounds, 
non-discriminatory perspectives, ethnicities, genders, gender 
identities, gender expressions, national origins, religious and 
spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, abilities, and other visible and
 nonvisible differences.  
We acknowledge that 
Western University is located on the traditional lands of the 
Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron peoples, on 
lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and
 the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land continues to be home
 to diverse Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we 
recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of
 our society. 
We consider our Ivey Executive Education community, in-person and virtual, to be a place where all individuals, 
whatever their differences, are valued and will be treated with respect.
