General:

 

The company advocates for an adequate organizational culture of its managers, employees, contractors, its various organs and its officers ("the employees" and/or "employees of the company") as part of fulfilling their duties in the company. Therefore, the company decided to establish a set of rules of conduct required of the company's employees.

 

This set of rules, known as the "Ethical Code", formulates standards intended to bring about the creation and maintenance of an organizational and value culture, which will strengthen the relationship between the company's employees and establish relationships of trust, reliability and integrity between the company and its employees, suppliers, customers and all those who come into contact with it ("the Code of Ethics" ).

 

The company's code of ethics is a normative and valuable identity card for behavior and actions in the company with the aim of raising the ethical level in the company, among other things, aiming at responsibility, reliability, honesty, professionalism and sensitivity. The ethical code as reflected in the rules detailed in this document, includes values, standards, diagnoses and binding rules of conduct that distinguish between what is proper and what is not proper in all areas of action.

 

The process of assimilating the ethical code is a significant step in the consolidation of the company's corporate culture values that combine responsibility, excellence and constant learning, family, loyalty and unit pride, internal and external organizational services, open, effective and collaborative communication. This code of ethics does not establish new rules of conduct, but anchors the accepted and known rules of conduct in the company, however their grouping into a uniform and binding document will promote clarity and add to the company's credibility among the public.

 

The code of ethics is written in the masculine language for convenience only and is aimed at both women and men. Wherever the singular is used, it will be seen as if it was also spoken in the plural, and vice versa.

 

This code of ethics was adopted and established by the company's board of directors. Deviation from this code of ethics is subject to the prior approval of the company's board of directors, which will be granted subject to all laws.

 

Ensuring compliance with the provisions of every law, the code of ethics does not replace or derogate from the provisions of any law or any other law applicable to the company and/or to any of its employees.

The code of ethics does not come to replace the laws, regulations, personal employment agreements, existing procedures in the company or in the country, but comes to add to them by establishing moral and proper rules of conduct for the company's employees, from the senior management to the last employee.

 

The company's employees are obligated to comply with all laws that apply to them or the company.
