Ethics at Nationwide

Code of Conduct

At Nationwide, honesty and integrity are the cornerstones of our foundation and these core values should never be compromised. Maintaining our values requires our associates to deal fairly with our customers, suppliers and competitors as well as with each other. The Office of Ethics and Business Practices is committed to providing guidance in making ethical decisions and investigating reports and concerns of suspected wrongdoing.

Designed to promote solid ethical and legal conduct, Nationwide’s Code of Conduct provides guidelines for the times when the right choices aren’t clear. It summarizes Nationwide's policies, rules and guidelines pertaining to business behavior. The code also provides a common frame of reference to help our associates and agents make the right choices that are in our customers' best interest.
