BANCOLOMBIA ISSUED NEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS CODES
Medellín, Colombia, December 19, 2011
Bancolombia announces adoption of new corporate governance and ethics codes.
The Corporate Governance Code reflects Bancolombia’s commitment to improve standards of governance in its relationships with investors, employees, suppliers, clients and the communities in which it has a presence. The following highlights the main aspects of the new code:
• Adjustments in rules relating to the General Shareholders Meeting,
• Adoption of governance standards that the Group expects from the companies in which it has investments,
• Adoption of operational policies between the companies of the Group, and
• Adoption of policies relating to the Bank’s business interactions with its main shareholders
The Code of Ethics reflects our commitment to building a model of corporate behavior governed by transparency. Each one of the directors and employees of the Group is committed to its principles and policies. The following highlights the main points of the new code:
• Strengthening of the principles of conflicts of interest and use of information, and
• Adopting special annexes governing: ethics and conduct in the treasury, administration of collective portfolios, supervision and control units and money laundering.
Both codes were approved today by the Board of Directors of Bancolombia, and Bancolombia will now begin the process of incorporating and disseminating the new codes.
The complete text of the codes can be found in the following website:
