RDPAC CODE

Trust is the basis of reputation and essential for innovation. There is no true innovation without ethical decision making.

The first RDPAC Code of Practice was established in 1999, which is based on IFPMA Code and China's laws, regulations and policies. Complying with the Code is also one of the criteria of applying RDPAC membership. In 2019, RDPAC release the newly amended version. According to IFPMA's new Ethos, the Code was developed to facilitate the shift of the Industry Code from a rules-based approach to a Code based on values, and above all, customer trust. So we put trust in the center of our Ethos to emphasize the integral role it has in our four additional Core Values of care, fairness, respect, and honesty. The Ethos are the guidance for our business practice and the interactions between our members and the industry.
