We believe the following five values best express who we are, what we stand for and how we show up for our
customers, colleagues and communities.
Deliver Care

of inclusion and belonging.
Community
We believe in stewardship
and building a sustainable company
that supports our communities.
Our values are integrated throughout Delivering Excellence: DXC’s Code of Conduct. Together with our purpose,
the values inform our goals and point us to our destination. The Code helps us get there, navigating complexity,
uncertainty or potential risk along the way.

Dear colleagues,
We can feel inspired and proud to work for a company that uses the power of technology to build better futures
for our customers, colleagues, communities and the environment.
By focusing on how we pursue our purpose as well as what we do, we strengthen our culture, relationships and
reputation. By growing trust, we will grow DXC in ways that make our business sustainable, resilient and admired.
Our Code of Conduct helps us connect our values with the decision making and behaviors that will grow trust

DELIVER A list of key actions that help us put our values into practice and deliver excellence with integrity
• Know and use the Code. The Code is much more than an introduction for new hires and an annual refresher for everyone else. It provides essential
information and resources relevant to our everyday work. We should consult it as needed.
• Are open and inclusive. We discover opportunities for collaboration and growth when we are receptive to others’ ideas and perspectives. An open
and inclusive mindset injects fresh energy and rigor into our thinking, which benefits us all.
• Resist pressure to do anything that feels wrong. No one has the authority to make any of us do something that violates this Code.
• Invest in learning and skills development. We all have an obligation to maintain the knowledge and skills necessary to perform with excellence.
This includes timely completion of required training.
• Speak up with ideas, questions and concerns. Any of us can have a great idea that can make things better for our company or customers.
Asking questions promotes alignment and collaboration. When we see or suspect anything that raises a concern, speaking up is the right thing to do.
As a leader or manager, the way you make decisions and handle concerns, differences of opinion and even bad news sets the foundation for trust
with your teams, customers and stakeholders. Our success and growth depend on the trust we build together.
• Communicate integrity. Regularly communicate that how we do things matters as much as what we do. Be clear that DXC’s values are important and
that you expect work to be done ethically.
• Model ethical leadership. Anyone, at any level, can demonstrate ethical leadership through their decision making and actions. When you have a formal
leadership role, remember that your teams will constantly look to you for ethical cues and guidance.
• Ask questions. Remind your teams regularly of the importance of doing the right thing; tell them that for results to matter, they must be achieved the
right way. Asking questions will help to satisfy you that everyone is operating with integrity.
• Look and listen. As a leader, it is critical that you coach and care for your teams. Make sure they know you will listen, even if they have something difficult
to say. Look for and respond to signs that team members need support.

Choose integrity
Doing the right thing is a choice — and we always have a choice.
Striving for excellence isn’t always easy. Situations can be complex, risks may not be obvious, and we may be balancing competing interests.
One thing is always clear, however: If we are concerned about a situation or unsure about the right course of action, we must set ourselves up to make the right choice.
It can help if we take three simple steps: Pause. Think. Ask.
A short pause can save a lot of trouble. It allows you to: You are not expected to resolve the issue by yourself, but you can Asking questions and seeking help from colleagues with

should not do.
When colleagues raise concerns, it allows us to proactively identify and manage risks, avoid or address problems, and prevent situations from escalating.
Most importantly, speaking up is how we keep ourselves accountable for living our values and maintaining a strong ethical culture.
Speaking up is …
Easy
Anytime you have a question or concern or face a situation where the course of action is not clear, speaking with your direct supervisor is usually the
best first step. If you are uncomfortable doing so or if the issue involves your supervisor, other reporting options include:
