CODE OF CONDUCT: Policy brief & purpose

Our professional code of ethics policy aims to give our employees guidelines on our business ethics and stance on various controversial matters. Our Code of conduct comprises the Company's principles of conduct which are our benchmark for ethical behaviour. They drive our actions and they underpin everything that we do.

Our policy applies to everyone we employ or have business relations with. This includes individual people such as employees, interns, volunteers, but also business entities, such as vendors, enterprise customers or venture capital companies.

Policy elements: First, let’s define professional ethics: they are a set of principles that guide the behaviour of people in a business context. They are essential to maintaining the legality of business and a healthy workplace. We base our business code of ethics on common principles of ethics:

Respect for others. Treat people as you want to be treated.

Integrity and honesty. Tell the truth and avoid any wrongdoing to the best of your ability.

Justice. Make sure you’re objective and fair and don’t disadvantage others.

Lawfulness. Know and follow the law – always.

Competence and accountability. Work hard and be responsible for your work.
