Everyone who works in ELTC shall maintain strict respect for current legislation in carrying out their professional activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.1.2. <strong>Ethical integrity<\/strong>.

Therefore, everyone must carry out their duties with objectivity, professionalism, and transparency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.1.4. <strong>Respect for human rights<\/strong>. The actions of ELTC and the people who form it must scrupulously respect the rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4.2 Relationships with and between people:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.1.<strong> Work environment and respect for people<\/strong>. ELTC strives to create work environments governed by trust and respect for people\u2019s dignity, politeness, and teamwork. ELTC expressly prohibits any abuse of authority, as well as any other behaviour that could create an intimidating or hostile work environment.\u00a0Everyone in ELTC must contribute to keeping a pleasant, meaningful, and safe work environment that encourages people to give the best of themselves. Consequently, all employees have the obligation and duty to treat their co-workers, supervisors, and subordinates respectfully, and must contribute to maintaining a harassment-free workplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.2. <strong>Labour rights<\/strong>. ELTC is committed to defending, respecting, and protecting basic labour rights, the human rights and civil liberties recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the Ten Principles set out in the United Nations Global Compact. For that purpose, ELTC does not employ, nor will it employ, whether directly or indirectly, any type of child or forced labour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.4 <strong>Equal opportunities and non-discrimination<\/strong>. ELTC ensures equal opportunities and is committed to providing the means to help its entire staff in their personal and professional development. Likewise, ELTC does not allow any type of discrimination for reasons of gender, race, sexual orientation, religious creed, political ideology, public opinion, nationality, social origin, disability, or any other circumstance that may give rise to discrimination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.4. <strong>Work-life balance<\/strong>.

ELTC considers the occupational health and safety of its staff to be a fundamental condition to achieve a safe, comfortable workplace. Ongoing improvement of the work conditions is thus a priority objective. For this reason, the entire staff must know and rigorously comply with the health and safety regulations established by the organization and all employees have the right and duty to report any situation that puts the health and safety of employees at risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.6. <strong>Confidentiality<\/strong>. In general, everyone who is bound by this code must maintain professional secrecy regarding the non-public data or information that they become aware of due to carrying out their duties or due to their relationship with ELTC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.2.7. <strong>Information security<\/strong>.\u00a0Preserving the security of the information sent and received is important for ELTC.

Communication transmitted to associates, the general public and stakeholders must be fair, true and honest. It must not undermine the dignity of people, nor may it contain messages that incite others to commit illegal acts. ELTC ensures that its communication is coherent with the organization&#8217;s values, respectful to personal privacy, transparent and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4.3.9. <strong>Unfair competition<\/strong>. ELTC rigorously complies with all the guidelines set in the United Kingdom on Unfair Competition. In this sense, ELTC flatly rejects acts that may deceive or cause confusion, misleading omissions, aggressive practices, acts of denigration, comparison, and imitation, as well as behaviours contrary to the requirements of good faith.<\/p>\n<p>Compliance with the principles and criteria of action contained in this Code of Ethics and Conduct is mandatory. ELTC is committed to communicating and informing all its members of the content of this Code of Ethics, which is available on the ELTC webpage. The new members that become part of ELTC must have the opportunity to learn the values, principles and conduct guidelines set forth in this Code of Ethics.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2><strong>ANTI-CORRUPTION COMPLIANCE POLICY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy (the \u201cPolicy\u201d) represents a part of commitment of the ELTC to conducting our business ethically and in compliance with all applicable laws wherever we operate.

In addition, the ELTC carries out periodical due diligence of business partners with which it has entered into long-term contracts (lasting longer than one year).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The due diligence procedure in respect of the business partners and Employees has the following goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>assessment of the necessity of hiring a business partner, Employee, the purposes of this hiring in comparison to similar transactions of the ELTC;<\/li>\n<li>assessment of the overall reputation of the Employee or a business partner, its owners and key persons for compliance with the Applicable Anti-Corruption Laws;<\/li>\n<li>finding out whether any violations of Applicable Anti-Corruption Laws have been committed in the past;<\/li>\n<li>establishing whether the potential Employee or a business partner has any connections to Government Officials and Government Entities, which might influence obtainment by the business partner or the ELTC of improper commercial advantages;<\/li>\n<li>assessment of the impact of these connections on the legality of entering into the contract with the business partner from the point of view of Applicable Anti-Corruption Laws;<\/li>\n<li>assessment of commercial reasonableness and arm\u2019s-length basis for a proposed transaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Any Anti-Corruption Compliance red flags raised during the course of the due diligence review must be addressed to the satisfaction of the Compliance Manager before formally entering into, or continuing, the relationship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The statements in this clause 4.2 of the Policy extend also to contractors under transactions for merger, acquisition, or creation of joint ventures, and so forth.

A small, reasonably priced gift or gesture of gratitude may sometimes be an appropriate way for business people to display respect for each other.
