Social Responsibility 

Code of ethics

In dealing with suppliers, distributors, consultants, agents and any other external entities, all employees must:

Declare any personal interest that may impinge, or be deemed by others to impinge, on an employee’s impartiality in any matter relevant to their duties.

Conduct themselves in such a manner so as not to bring the Company, or the employee into disrepute or which results in the loss of custom of a client, applicant, employee or a loss of business.

Avoid any arrangement with a supplier or other that might prevent the effective operation of fair competition.

Not accept business gifts, bribes, secret profits or unauthorised commissions.

Not accept a level of hospitality that might be deemed by others to have influenced the making of a business decision. The frequency and scale of hospitality accepted must not be greater than the Company would provide in return.

The employee is not permitted to entertain any of the Company’s clients or applicants in or out of the office unless authorised. Employees who feel they have any issues or potential issues, arising out of their relationship with customers or suppliers are required to disclose the facts to their line manager at the earliest convenience.

Claim through the normal expense recovery channels authorised expenditure incurred in the furtherance of company business. Payment of travel and accommodation by third parties must not be accepted.

Not authorise any variation to the Company’s terms of business or agree on any discounts on charges or authorise.

Not disclose salary and remuneration details to other employees.
