Introduction
Our actions have a profound impact on our company, our customers and our community, which is why we always do the right thing, even when faced with tough decisions.
In that spirit, AppFolio’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics (Code) is a manifestation of our values and a statement of our commitment to upholding our ethical, professional, and legal standards. We use it as the basis for our daily and long-term decisions and actions. It provides tools and resources to help us incorporate safe and sustainable business practices into our everyday roles.

Navigate the Code
This code applies to all of us
All employees, directors and officers are responsible for reading this Code and becoming familiar with the relevant policies, laws and regulations that guide our work. That means speaking up when you hear or see something wrong or asking for help if you aren’t sure how to handle a situation. We also expect our third-party partners and contractors to act in a way consistent with AppFolio’s values when conducting business on behalf of the company. This Code is a great resource, but it will not cover every situation you may face. Use your judgment and know when to ask for help. We are each individually accountable for our own actions and play an important role in contributing to AppFolio’s success. We expect all employees to demonstrate a sense of commitment to this Code, and to foster a culture of fairness, honesty and accountability.
Enhanced Responsibilities for our CEO, CFO and other senior financial officials
Our CEO, CFO and other Senior Financial Officials have an increased responsibility to help enforce this Code by encouraging others to comply with it and promptly reporting suspected violations of this Code to the Audit Committee of the Board.
