Business Code of Ethics

Ethically working with others

Why a Code of Ethics?

We have a Business Code of Ethics and a responsibility to share the values and principles we are expected to consistently apply as we represent Geniprocess every day, in every job that we undertake anywhere in the world.

Our Code and global customer requirements give us tools to work in line with the laws, regulations, industry codes, guidelines, and standards that apply to us anywhere we wish to work in.

Following the Code of Ethics and supporting requirements (together labelled as “the Code”), we deliver lasting benefits to tech companies and other stakeholders. We achieve success responsibly. We earn and keep trust. We are proud of where we work.

Years of Experience

Who must follow it?

Here at Geniprocess, we are all accountable for upholding the Code of Ethics. Managers are also responsible for helping their teams understand and apply it.

We choose to work only with third parties whose ethical standards are consistent with ours so that Geniprocess’ standards will carry through any work done in our name.

As such, our suppliers are also expected to follow our Code of Ethics and align with its principles.

How to make decisions based on the Code of Ethics?

Our Code of Ethics cannot cover every situation or replace good judgment. It informs us so that we can decide for ourselves. If you are having difficulty with a decision, ask yourself:

Why am I making this decision?

Is it aligned with Geniprocess’ values and core principles?

Would my manager and I like reading about it in tomorrow’s newspaper?

If you have a question about the Code of Ethics, then the safest way to get an answer is to ask directly your management. Your manager and your local Compliance, Legal, and Human Resources partners are all here to help maintain a healthy work environment not only for yourself, but the entire company.
Sometimes it is understandable that you may not be comfortable asking anyone and would like to take it directly to the top management, in which case the compliance reporting channels could be used.
