Excellence in Corporate Governance

More than ever, you need a strategic partner who manages with transparency and the highest level of ethics. Deluxe thrives on conducting business in an ethical manner and we have established shared values that govern how we conduct business. We also have developed a Deluxe Ethics and Compliance Program. This program helps employees better understand and uphold our Deluxe Way Shared Values and comply with our formalized Code of Ethics and Business Conduct policies.

Deluxe consistently receives exceptional Corporate Governance Quotients (CGQ®) ratings from Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), an independent company that provides voting recommendations to institutional shareholders.
