This code of conduct is intended to make management and employees aware of how to act with integrity. This is done by recording what is generally considered correct and inappropriate behaviour.
For whom?
This code applies to every employee, representative or director of our company. Contract employees, employees from external organisations, must comply with the code. Contractors, service providers and consultants who represent us or work for or on behalf of us are expected to act in accordance with this Code when acting on our behalf.

We will not allow our business decisions to be influenced by - or give others any reason to suspect that these have been influenced by - gifts and representation offered or received.
Conflicts of interest
Conflicts of interest may arise when personal relationships, participation in outside activities or participation in another company influences or appear to others to influence business decisions of our employees. A conflict of interest event can jeopardize the reputation of our Company and the employee. We must avoid actual, potential or suspected conflicts of interest where possible.
