BlueScope’s ethics and compliance function coordinates and formalizes the company’s approach to compliance.  The Ethics & Compliance Manager – North America (ECM) helps oversee ethics and compliance in the region.  The ECM has matrix reporting lines and also reports into the corporate Ethics and Compliance function.

The ECM provides subject matter expertise to support the development of the company’s Global Ethics and Compliance Program, which includes supporting and coordinating strong compliance across the North American businesses to reduce risk of non-compliance.

The ECM works collaboratively with stakeholders to cultivate a strong corporate culture and ensure the North American businesses, as well as its employees and business partners, are aware of, and acting in compliance with, all regulatory and ethical requirements applicable to the company’s business.  The ECM plans, designs, implements, and maintains all regional compliance policies, procedures, and programs in a way that promotes a culture of compliance.  In addition, the ECM plays a leading role on compliance investigations and provides general compliance advice to various corporate functions.
