4. Broadband - Fixed speed code and BSG industry code on traffic management transparency

We are signatories to the OFCOM Voluntary Speeds Code of Practice. The code governs the information we provide to customers regarding the speed they are likely to achieve when they contract with us for broadband service, and also what we do if the customer doesn’t receive the speeds we expected at the point of sale. The code revisions have improved the relevancy of speed estimates by reflecting peak time speeds; enhanced the process for the right to exit if a speed issue cannot be resolved and now include coverage of all technologies.

8. Code of practice for the self-regulation of new forms of content on mobiles

We have developed this code of practice in conjunction with the rest of the mobile industry. It is designed to facilitate the responsible use of new mobile phone services, such as access to the internet, while safeguarding children from unsuitable content. We aim to ensure adequate safeguards are in place so that our customers can enjoy new services within a safe and secure mobile environment.

We also offer filtering to manage internet content. It works by preventing anyone under 18 from accessing adult content, while leaving them free to surf the rest of the internet. The filtering service follows the Independent Mobile Classification Body (IMCB) guidelines.

At EE, our anti-bribery policy supports our zero tolerance to bribery and corruption. It sets out how our employees should behave and what they should do if confronted with bribery or corruption.

We have put in place policies, procedures and a compliance programme to help identify and manage risk which reinforces our commitment to ensuring that we comply with the requirements of the Bribery Act.

Our Code, policies and standards are all there to help guide us on what is right while working at or with EE. If something concerns you, it concerns us.

When something doesn't seem right, speak up. We have two internal 'Speak up' channels and one external, our Speak up Service.
