POLICIES

These policies apply to all our businesses and employees. Compliance helps to sustain and enhance the good reputation of our company. We believe that every employee plays their part in building and strengthening the company as a whole.

Corporate Responsibility and Business Ethics

As a company, we interface with clients, partners and suppliers all over the world. These groups, together with other organizations and individuals with which our businesses interact, take a close interest in what we do. Their opinions about us are influenced by our actions. A good reputation is not just important, it is essential to our on-going success. A key determinant of this reputation is how we all behave both as individuals and collectively.

In a complex world, it is impractical to set specific rules and regulations to cover every situation. However, this policy of business ethics provides clear standards and guidance for the business dealings of every employee. This policy outlines the standards that we must all attain and covers a range of different areas of activity. Whilst it cannot deal with every circumstance, it creates a framework to help us decide how to behave. It is designed to help set our interactions with colleagues and external stakeholders on strong ethical foundations.

Our objective is not only to protect the reputation of our company, but also to protect the interests of every employee by ensuring individual legal and regulatory compliance as well as responsible behaviour.

In conclusion, it is vitally important that we are, and can be seen to be, a responsible and ethical participant in our operating Industries.
