The London Metal Exchange has taken the unusual step of handing out copies of its code of conduct to thousands of delegates at its annual symposium this week, to avoid a repeat of last year’s controversy over an event at the Playboy Club.

Financial News can reveal that all attendees of LME Week, the biggest metals industry event in the world, will receive bags with a copy of the exchange’s code of conduct.
