The London Metal Exchange is to introduce the first code of conduct in its 142-year history, just six months after one of the trading venue’s clients hosted a cocktail party at the Playboy club in Mayfair using LME branding.

The code will be applied to all staff at the world’s oldest and largest market for industrial metals, as well as members, guests and organisers of events that utilise the exchange’s branding.
