Our code of conduct policy provides the framework of principles for conducting

legislation takes precedence. This policy is based on the following.
● Act and maintain a high standard of integrity and professionalism

whilst following correct reporting procedures, will not be disadvantaged or prejudiced. All
reports will be dealt with in a timely and confidential manner.
Compliance
While the code provides general guidance and minimum expectations regarding your conduct, no
code or policy can ever cover every conceivable circumstance you may face. In everything you do,
you are expected to listen to and act upon your conscience and help build and maintain Company
Name and your reputation.
