1.) The Conduct of Our Employees

We should conduct our business in accordance with all material applicable laws, rules and regulations.

We should maintain the highest standards of ethical business conduct and integrity by:

Being fair and honest in all business dealings, including our professional relationships;

Properly maintaining all information and records, recognizing errors and, when an error is confirmed, promptly correcting it; and

Cooperating fully with all internal and external audits and investigations initiated or sanctioned by the Company

We must protect the confidentiality and privacy of confidential employee, customer, shareholder, proprietary and third-party information and records.

We must make business decisions solely in the best interests of the Company without regard to personal gain. This means that we should use good judgment and endeavor to avoid even the appearance of any conflict between our individual interests and those of the Company

1 B) Treatment of Our Employees

To keep all written contracts and verbal (witnessed) promises that managers have the authority to make, or that the company has made to its employees, to the best of their ability.
To treat all employees with human respect, even when they have to be reprimanded.
To allow employees to have non-working scheduled breaks and to leave the premises when their paid time is over without reprisals.
To provide opportunities for training and/or advancement (salary based and position based), especially for employees with seniority and with no complaints or reprimands on their record, and to review performance regularly with that in mind.
To minimize the arbitrary firing of groups of employees, especially newcomers, for no reason.
To approve plans or suppliers on merit and profit value, not on the basis of who supports them.
To find ways to recruit, train and retain good quality management who will add value to their department.
