Compliance

In early 2016, ALTEO Group published its Code of Ethics, set up an anonymous online reporting platform, and regulated the rules of procedure for ethics investigations.

The ALTEO Group ethics hotline is available via phone two afternoons per week, as well as via the online reporting system free of charge, year-round, 24/7.

Our Code of Ethics is available to anyone interested on the ALTEO Group website. The Code of Ethics was presented to our staff in the context of in-situ training, which also provided a great opportunity to get answers to any questions they may have had.

When formulating the ALTEO Group Code of Ethics, we wanted to create a useful guide that would offer help and protection to our employees and provide information to our partners about the standards of behavior represented and required by our Group. It provides a summary of ALTEO Group’s core ethical principles, the specificities of our behavioral and corporate culture, the possibilities for the enforcement of interests, the priorities and various responsibility issues.

The ALTEO Group Code of Ethics is a useful guide, which provides information to our partners about the standards of behavior represented and required by our Group, and offers protection to our employees. The document summarizes our fundamental ethical principles, the nature of our conduct and corporate culture, the avenues of interest enforcement, priorities and specific issues of liability.

The standards established in the Code of Ethics of the Group impose higher requirements on Group employees compared to existing laws because we believe that in certain cases, well-meaning actions that do not otherwise violate any law may also have adverse consequences for the company and our employees.

In addition to fundamental ethical principles like the protection and respect of universal human rights, integrity, trust, humanity, tolerance and responsibility, our culture is built on a number of shared corporate values such as fairness, commitment, expertise, effectiveness, the pursuit of excellence, sustainability and good atmosphere.

Human rights

The Company is committed to respect for human rights, which includes, among others: non-discrimination, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, respect for private and family life.
