Our Values

Marsh conducts business consistent with the highest ethical and professional standards and will not tolerate behaviour that deviates from those standards. We will act with integrity, honesty, courage and mutual respect.

In particular, we foster a culture within the organisation in which bribery is never acceptable.

Marsh Ltd Statement on the UK Bribery Act and Failure to Prevent Fraud Offence

The UK Bribery Act came into force on 1 July 2011, and the offence of failure to prevent fraud (created by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023) came into force on 1 September 2025.

Marsh McLennan is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity across all aspects of our operations. We have zero tolerance for bribery, corruption or fraud, whether committed by our employees or by anyone acting on our behalf.

The Greater Good, Marsh McLennan’s Code of Conduct, is a significant part of Marsh’s culture and makes it clear that we expect our colleagues to behave with integrity at all times. It defines the core values which guide our actions and establishes the principles by which Marsh McLennan conducts its business. As well as acting ethically and with integrity, colleagues are expected to seek guidance when uncertain and to speak up if they observe behaviour that conflicts with our values.

Bribery, corruption and fraud remain key enforcement priorities both globally and in the UK. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) continues to act against firms that fail to implement appropriate and effective systems and controls.

Whether working with clients, colleagues, suppliers, third parties or associated persons acting on our behalf, any actual or perceived acts of bribery or fraud would seriously harm our business and contradict the standards we uphold.

Our obligations extend more widely than simply refusing to offer or accept a bribe or be complicit in any fraud. We must all be transparent and reasonable when giving or receiving gifts and entertainment, and convey our expectations to any third party with whom we do business that they are to uphold the same standards of anti-bribery and corruption when working on our behalf.  We must avoid any unlawful or unethical conduct, including fraud, regardless of who profits from it.

Marsh McLennan’s clear standards of ethics and integrity are communicated to all colleagues through our global training programmes. In addition, UK specific policies and training on anti-bribery, corruption and fraud further clarity the Company’s expectations and help mitigate any respective risks.

We encourage all colleagues, clients, and third-party partners to familiarise themselves with The Greater Good, and to act in accordance with its principles.
