What's the difference between a code of ethics and a code of conduct?

A code of ethics expresses fundamental principles that provide guidance in cases where no specific rule is in place or where matters are genuinely unclear.

A well drafted code of conduct will be consistent with the primary code of ethics, however, it will provide much more specific guidance.
