Code of ethic

Code of ethic of the AEQUITAS group

A. PREAMBLE

Compliance with legal regulations and ethical rules is a priority for all members of the AEQUITAS group.

The aim of this code of ethics is to establish the basic principles and rules of ethical behavior for the AEQUITAS group. These standards apply both in relation to our business partners, customers and investors, as well as within the company between individual employees. The code of ethics is binding for all companies within the group as well as for all its employees.

B. RELATION TO EMPLOYEES

When selecting co-workers, we fill positions with individuals with appropriate professional and moral qualifications. The basic principle is equal treatment and rejection of any discrimination based on gender, race, religion or political belief, sexual orientation or health and social status. Adherence to the rules of personnel policy is important for us.

Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming work environment where each individual respects their surroundings and together strives to achieve the group's goals. That is why we emphasize compliance with basic ethical and moral principles. A working atmosphere based on these principles strengthens the ability to achieve quality results. Managers are responsible for the results in their area of operation within the group and have the authority to control the activities and results of their subordinates. At the same time, they are a moral example for their teams.

Within and outside the AEQUITAS group, we always behave with respect and loyalty to the parent group, owners, investors, but also to other employees and associates in order to preserve the good name of our organization. However, this does not prevent anyone from reporting unethical or illegal practices if they witness them.
