Context

Our team is the most important asset and essential to the success of our company. Our goal is to maintain a working environment where the prevailing values are trust, comradeship, teamwork, and respect for individual dignity.

2021 saw us grow to over 300 full time staff, an increase of around 28.5% on the previous year.

We continued under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic with all our team either directly or indirectly affected. It remained important to ensure that the workplace was a safe environment, allowing confidence to carry out work. An on-site medical centre was introduced in 2020 as well as a strict set of safety measures which remained in force throughout the year, minimising the possibility of an outbreak inside our facilities. Furthermore, we offered means of support to those in our team who needed it. From flexible working options to a wellbeing program encouraging sharing of experiences as well as activities designed as an outlet channel.

Respect for Human Rights

We maintain corporate behaviour in accordance with the human and employment rights through the application of regulations and good practices to the employment, equal opportunity, and health and safety conditions. The same level of commitment is required from our suppliers.

All our team adhere to our Code of Ethics which sets out the values and principles that guide our actions as well as those of our suppliers, and associates, as follows:

Quality

All our team and related entities bound by the Code will strive to attain and improve the internal and external standards of the enterprise as a whole.

Experience, professionalism, and knowledge

We are committed to providing our team with education and training to ensure they gain maximum knowledge of the industry.

Commitment and trust

All our team and related entities bound by the Code will build longterm relationships with clients and associates to ensure the provision of the best service.

Our equal opportunity plan

One of the foundations of our Code of Ethics is the respect for all the persons that make up the Company. In this regard, we have approved our Equal Opportunity Plan for the years 2021-2024.

We always seek to maintain a working environment where the prevailing values are trust, comradeship, teamwork, and respect for individual dignity.

We proclaim support to non-discrimination on grounds of race, colour, nationality, age, gender, social context, marital status, sexual orientation, ideology, political opinion, religion, or any other personal, physical, or social condition affecting the worker and the promotion of equal opportunity for all these professionals.

Any conduct that may be considered violent or amount to abuse of power or any type of intimidation in the workplace is punishable.

We are committed to ensuring equal treatment opportunities in the recruitment process and maintaining objectivity and non-discrimination in promotion and career development systems.
