Bloomberg is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Our leadership has established Doing the Right Thing<\/em> as one of the company\u2019s core values, which includes, among other things, zero tolerance for bribery or corruption in any form, in any jurisdiction in which we operate.<\/p>\n
