Ethics

Compliance-Driven, Impact-Focused.
Code of conduct
Our Code of Conduct outlines the overall philosophy supporting our business strategies, states our ethical values and legal responsibilities, and underscores our commitment to conducting business in a responsible and respectful manner. This sets a tone of excellence for all of our staff worldwide. It states that, in conducting our business, we will:
• Ensure we and our stakeholders conform to the rule of law and support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights
• Operate to the highest business standards, best practices and quality assurance
• Behave with honesty, integrity and in a manner that reflects well on the company at all times
• Operate to the highest levels of corporate social responsibility
• Accept only equality, diversity and competency in our workforce and business dealings
• Apply zero tolerance with respect to drug and alcohol abuse
• Operate strict Information Technology processes to safeguard our personnel and business against
cyber-attack and other misuse of data
• Ensure the health, safety and security of all our personnel, the environment and our business at
all times through comprehensive and effective Risk Management Systems
• Rebuff corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery, to compete fairly and only engage in legitimate business practices
Our Code of Conduct is communicated to all our partners, agents, suppliers and stakeholders to ensure they are aware and comply with our strict standing on these issues. Upon joining, all our personnel receive training on the Code, and are given a personal copy which they are required to read and then sign to say they have understood it and will work within its principles. Wherever possible, the obligation to comply with it is also incorporated into our contracts with third parties. Any failure to conform to this Code is treated as a serious non-conformance, investigated and dealt with accordingly. Signed by our Managing Director, it is reviewed and updated on a yearly basis.
Health and Safety
We are proud to be a ‘Safety First’ company, and our commitment to effective and efficient Health and Safety Management is paramount. We never take our duty of care towards our people lightly. Each of our projects is subject to a comprehensive Safety and Security Risk Assessment before our personnel are deployed, and followed up by continued risk assessment on the ground throughout the project.
Environment
All our decision-making processes consider the potential impact on the environment and all internal and external environmental factors. We do this by conducting an Environment Assessment for every project. This includes international and national legal and regulatory requirements, the political, natural and physical environments, the task & associated hazards, perceptions and risk tolerance of clients and other stakeholders, values and legal responsibilities, and underscores our commitment to conducting business in a responsible and respectful manner. This sets a tone of excellence for all of our staff worldwide.
