Company

In this Codex, the Board sets out the ethical standards and defines how SpanSet conducts its business. The company’s responsibility to its stakeholders is seen as the foundation for long-term success. The Board endorses this Code and requires the same of the entire company. Non-compliance jeopardises the business and reputation of the company.

We comply with applicable laws and regulations and the Company’s internal rules wherever we conduct our business.

We compete successfully by acting on our core values of trustworthiness, expertise and interactivity not by resorting to unfair tactics.

We do not tolerate corruption or bribery of any kind and inappropriate gifts are neither offered nor accepted by us. Business solicitation payments will not be tolerated.

We seek to build long-term relationships with our clients by anticipating their needs and providing them with the best products and services for their particular situation.

We avoid situations where personal interests may conflict with interests of SpanSet. As a firm rule, any such occurrence is documented and reported to superiors.

We recognise that our people are the foundation of our business and we strive to create an environment where talent is strongly encouraged to develop.

Leaders model integrity through their actions and ensure that employees are aware of our Code.

We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, bullying or harassment, whether based on race, gender, age or sexual orientation. We expressly avoid sexist jokes and the display of material with sexual content.

SpanSet employees are entitled to a safe and healthy working environment. We also strive to improve safety in our customers’ workplaces: our products and training play an important role in protecting users and preventing accidents.

SpanSet’s tangible and intangible assets must only be used for business purposes and all employees have a duty to avoid misuse, damage, waste or loss of said assets.

Technical know-how and trade secrets that are the property of SpanSet must be handled with great care, as unauthorised disclosure to third parties may cause serious harm to the company.

Violations of our code, company policies, laws and regulations are considered unacceptable and will result in serious consequences, ranging from a warning to demotion or termination. Not only the person committing the breach is at risk, but also direct supervisors and any other employees who have knowledge of the incident.

We respect human rights and try to minimise any environmental impact. Long-term operations mean optimising the use of resources.

We make every effort to ensure that our partners comply with the same rules as we do.

We do not tolerate child labour under any circumstances, either directly or indirectly.

The entire company must comply with the Code.

Changes to the Code are communicated to all employees.

We report any violation or potential violation of the Code to supervisors; reporting an incident will never be reprimanded.

SpanSet employees can contact their supervisors or the helpline directly at conducthelpline(at)spanset.com with any questions.
