It is our key responsibility to develop and maintain an economically sound and prosperous business.

These include our responsibilities towards the countries, communities and environments in which we operate, toward our employees and business partners and toward society in general. Therefore we have defined some key under-pinning for our performance:

• We comply with legal requirements that apply in the countries where we do business.
• We respect the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognize our responsibility to observe those rights that apply to our performance towards our employees and the communities where we work and live in.
• We are open-minded in dialogue with those who are affected by our operations. We respond to inquiries from external parties and communicate with affected parties in a timely and effective manner. Within the sphere of our influence we will endeavor to ensure that our suppliers and subcontractors abide by the principles in our code of conduct.
