New Red Hat Partner Code of Conduct requirement

The Red Hat Partner Code of Conduct must be accepted to maintain an active company account within Red Hat Partner Connect.

At Red Hat, we believe it is essential to act ethically and in accordance with the laws of the countries in which we do business. We rely on our Partners to help us maintain the trust of our customers and broader community and, therefore, only work with Partners who we believe are honest and ethical, and who commit to do business ethically.

This Partner Code of Conduct (the “Code”) is intended to protect the value of our business together and the strength of our collective reputations, and was created with the following core values in mind:

FREEDOM to pursue appropriate business opportunities 

COURAGE to take action in the face of illegal or unethical behavior 

COMMITMENT to legal and ethical business conduct 

ACCOUNTABILITY for all our actions

This Code applies to all Red Hat Partners and their officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, and agents (“Partners”). We take ethics, integrity and compliance with laws seriously and expect all Partners to adhere to this Code when conducting business with Red Hat and its customers, potential customers and other Partners. Without limiting other rights and remedies that we may have under agreements with our Partners, if Red Hat believes that a Partner has failed or may fail to comply with this Code, Red Hat may immediately suspend or terminate its relationship with the Partner.
