ITEM 5.05. AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRANT’S CODE OF ETHICS, OR WAIVER OF A PROVISION OF THE CODE OF ETHICS
On August 19, 2016, the Weyerhaeuser Company board of directors approved certain amendments to the company’s Code of Ethics (the “Code”). The amendments were intended to update and bring the Code more in line with current best practices by, among other things: improving readability and understanding by adding more examples and more questions and answers; and strengthening and updating Code sections covering, among other topics, Non-Retaliation, Insider Trading, Conflicts of Interest and Discrimination. Changes were also approved to add a new Code provision on doing business with government entities and to make Code provisions on Electronic Communications and Systems and International Business Conduct (Anti-Bribery) more consistent with the company’s current policies.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Code contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, which is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Code, as amended, is available in the corporate governance section of the company’s website at www.weyerhaeuser.com.
