Broadband Visual Communications Limited Code of Ethics

Broadband Visual Communications’ Code of Ethics is our model for corporate and professional behaviour. It is the foundation of our culture of trust and it tells us that ethical behaviour is an important part of how we do business at Broadband Visual Communications.

Our Code is defined by three principles:


• Unquestionable Trust
• Superior Performance
• Total Commitment


Our ethical behaviour applies to every part of our business — whether it's dealing with customers, leading by example or working together. We should never stop asking ourselves: “Am I behaving ethically — today and every day?”
The code applies to our directors and all employees. Before any director or employee considers acting in a manner which could breach the Code of Ethics, the individual should recognise that he or she is placing their position with the company in jeopardy.

Our Employee
We treat each other with fairness and respect and offer equal opportunities for all employment to all individuals. We value different backgrounds and encourage different perspectives and ideas — understanding that diversity is a strength that unlocks our full potential and helps us achieve our goals. Intimidation, harassment or discrimination based on race, sex, age, colour, religion, sexual orientation or disability is not tolerated. We take personal responsibility for individual and organisational success, while recognising the value that each of us contributes.

Safety and Health
We adhere to all health and safety regulations. We value the health and safety of each other and our customers by conducting business in a proper manner. We work safely, watch out for each other and report and correct unsafe situations. We keep our workplace free from violence, illegal drugs and the inappropriate use of alcohol.

The Environment
We are committed to improving our environmental performance by the promotion of “green technologies” and a “smarter” way of working.
The health of our employees, customers, and the general public, and the protection of our environment are among our highest priorities.

Law and Regulations
We respect the law. We comply with all legislation. We have a responsibility to understand the laws and how they apply to our jobs.
The company supports each employee and provides the necessary resources for compliance. If it is found that any laws have been violated, corrective and responsible action will be taken.

Confidential Information
We use confidential information only for the business purpose for which it was given. We respect the confidentiality of information about the company, its customers, employees, suppliers and partners. Confidential information will not be used for personal gain. We comply with the laws and regulations which prohibit insider trading of securities. We protect the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, licenses and trademarks, and other proprietary information of the company and others.

Conflict of Interest
We avoid conflicts, or the appearance of conflicts, between personal interests and official responsibilities on behalf of the company. We use corporate resources — time, personnel, equipment and supplies — for company business or company approved activities.
We do not take personal advantage of business opportunities that are discovered through the use of company property, information or position. The company’s directors and employees do not engage in business activities in competition with the company.

Gifts and Gratuities
We do not accept, offer or authorise gifts, entertainment, or other favours that are not a reasonable part of a business relationship.

Competitive Practices
We compete aggressively, but fairly, on the basis of price, superior and unique products and services. We do not enter into understandings or agreements between competitors regarding prices, terms of sales, or any other activity that restricts competition.
We conduct competitive marketing activities, including the advertising of products and services and gathering of competitive intelligence, fairly and honestly.

Financial Integrity
We record all business transactions in accordance with standard accounting principles. We maintain an excellent level of internal accounting to ensure that all data is accurately recorded without error. We maintain and retain all business records accurately and in compliance with all relevant legislation.

External Relationships
We are known by our customers for the quality and value of the products and services we provide. We value the relationships we have built and know that they are based on trust.

Duty to Act
Our people are our company. Each of us has the responsibility to act ethically on the company’s behalf and is obligated to report promptly to management any activities that may be in violation of this Code of Ethics, other company policies, or any applicable rules.

Conclusion
Within Broadband Visual Communications ethics mean more than just adhering to rules and policies it also means "doing the right thing for the right reasons" no matter what our role or responsibilities within the company may be. All of us are expected to maintain the highest ethical practices in our work and dealings both inside and outside our company.
