FBF-ის თანამშრომლები, პიროვნულად და კოლექტიურად, ვალდებულნი არიან, დაიცვან ამ ქცევის კოდექსში მოცემული სტანდარტები და იმოქმედონ აქ მოყვანილი პრინციპებისა და ღირებულებების მიხედვით. მოცემული ქცევის კოდექსი ვრცელდება FBF-ის ყველა თანამშრომელზე, გამგეობის წევრებსა და დაქირავებულ თანამშრომლებზე, აგრეთვე, დამხმარე პერსონალზე, კონსულტანტებზე, სტაჟიორებზე, მოხალისეებსა და ყველაზე, ვინც FBF-ს წარმოადგენს. ასევე, ქცევის კოდექსი ვრცელდება FBF-ის განმახორციელებელ პარტნიორებზე, თუკი ეს გათვალისწინებული არის მხარეებს შორის არსებული ხელშეკრულებით. მიუხედავად იმისა, აქვს თუ არა თანამშრომელს მოწერილი ხელი კოდექსზე, ეს უკანასკნელი ავტომატურად ხდება FBF-ის ყველა შრომითი ხელშეკრულებისა და დასაქმების პირობების განუყოფელი ნაწილი ყველა თანამშრომლისათვის. 1. პატივისცემა და ღირსება
3. ინტერესთა კონფლიქტი
FBF პასუხისმგებლიანი და გახსნილი ორგანიზაცია არის მედია სააგენტოებისა და ნებისმიერი სხვა დაინტერესებული პირისათვის და მიესალმება გამჭირვალობას, მათ შორის, როცა საქმე ეხება მისი და მისი თანამშრომლების საქმიანობას. FBF–ს, მედია სააგენტოების წარმომადგენლებთან ურთიერთობისას, საკუთარი თანამშრომლებისათვის დადგენილი აქვს განსაზღვრული ნორმები, რაც განპირობებიულია ობიექტური ინფორმაციის მიწოდების სურვილით და ორგანიზაციის პასუხისმგებლობის გრძნობის სრული გაცნობიერებით. ზოგადი ხასიათის მომართვები FBF-ის, მისი საქმიანობის და თანამშრომლების შესახებ უნდა გადამისამართდეს FBF-ის თავმჯდომარესთან, გამგეობასთან ან სხვა უფლებამოსილ პირთან. ფინანსურ ინფორმაციასთან დაკავშირებული მომართვები უნდა გადამისამართდეს ფინანსური განყოფილების ხელმძღვანელთან.

სექსუალური ექსპლუატაცია და ძალადობა არღვევს საყოველთაოდ აღიარებულ ადამიანის უფლებებს, რაც რიგ ქვეყნებში წარმოადგენს სისხლის სამართლის დანაშაულს და ნებისმიერ გარემოებებში მიუღებელია FBF-ის თანამშრომლებისათვის. ტერმინი „სექსუალური ექსპლუატაცია“ ამ კონტექსტში ნიშნავს დაუცველი, უმწეო მდგომარეობის სექსუალური მიზნებისათვის გამოყენებას – ძალის გამოყენებით იქნება ეს, დაშინებით თუ ნდობის მოპოვებით. იგულისხმება ფულადი დაინტერესება, სოციალური თუ პოლიტიკური ზეწოლა.
