+# Code of Conduct
+
+The smallvec project follows the [Rust Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct).
+It applies to this repository, its issue tracker, pull requests, and other
+official project spaces.
+
+If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, report it privately to the
+Servo project maintainers through the contact method described in the
+[Servo contribution guide](https://book.servo.org/contributing/getting-started).
+
+Project participants are expected to be respectful, assume good faith, and
+focus feedback on the work rather than on the person. Maintainers may remove
+comments or contributions that violate this code and may take any other action
+necessary to keep project spaces welcoming and productive.
