Acting with integrity and being honest-
Integrity is very important and fundamental to the company.

The code of conduct provides guidelines as to how the company’s employees should conduct themselves as representatives of the company.

Bribe and corruption-
The global nature of our business often involves an interaction with officials around the world. Therefore the company’s management board has decided to set a very clear guidelines’ protocol which is forbidding any kind shape or form of bribe and corruption. The company will not accept any bribes whether they are offered/expected or taken. These guidelines are effective as well for any form of corruption.
How the company is minimizing the risk for a potential bribe, corruption and other harmful behaviors-
The company has prepared its inner protocol that is being signed by each of the managers and employees which enforces them to act in good faith and implement our strict guidelines. The company is also implementing the whistle blower program where it enables to report a certain behavior which must not be accepted and which is in contradiction to the company’s written code. Each employee of the company can report to its manager about such unaccepted behavior.
