In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, maintaining integrity and ethical conduct is paramount. We recognize this importance and have established a comprehensive Code of Conduct to guide our operations.
Our Code of Conduct serves as a guiding light, ensuring that all employees, partners, customers, and stakeholders adhere to high ethical standards. Thereby, we maintain our credibility and foster a positive working environment based on transparency, integrity, and responsibility.
Fundamental Values
At the heart of our Code of Conduct lie six core values: Enjoyment, Usefulness, Ambition, a Sense of Reality, Search for the best Solution, and Fairness and Respect. These values serve as the DNA of our organization.
Guiding Principles
The Code of Conduct outlines principles to govern daily decisions and actions. It addresses various aspects and guides employees and business partners on the expected behaviors for everyone involved:
- Integrity and Lawful Conduct: Upholding honesty and integrity is non-negotiable for all employees. They are expected to act in accordance with legal requirements and the company's guidelines.
- Reporting Concerns: The Code provides channels for employees to raise concerns or report violations confidentially. Whistleblowing is encouraged to maintain the highest ethical standards.
- Avoidance of Corruption: We have a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery, corruption, and unfair behavior. Employees are prohibited from accepting or granting any form of undue influence, including gifts and favors.
- Equal Opportunities and Respect: We promote diversity and condemn discrimination, harassment, or bullying of any kind. All individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, regardless of personal characteristics.
- Health, Safety, and Environment: We prioritize the well-being of our employees and the protection of the environment. We ensure a safe workplace and encourage responsible behavior to minimize risks and environmental impact.
- Compliance with Laws and Regulations: We emphasize compliance with import and export controls, trade regulations, and competition laws. Employees are expected to adhere to these legal requirements in all business dealings.
What that means
Our Code of Conduct is not just a set of rules; it's a reflection of our ethos and a blueprint for ethical excellence in today's business world. Please let us know if you would like to know more about our business!
