This Policy applies to Aluminij Industries (hereinafter “Aluminij” or “we”) and all employees, and officers.
In addition, the Aluminij expects its agents, consultants, representatives, suppliers, vendors, contractors, advisors, business partners and any other person that performs services for or on behalf of the Company to comply with the principles contained in this Policy.
It is intended to minimize Aluminij’s risks related to bribery and corruption and to emphasize responsibilities under both the relevant anti-corruption laws and our policies. It also provides guidance on identifying potential risks, dealing with challenging situations and reporting when those situations violate or may lead to a violation of this Policy and Anti-Corruption Laws.
Corruption and bribery are illegal and unethical, and any violation of relevant anti-corruption laws can lead to severe civil and criminal penalties and reputational harm to Aluminij.
Aluminij has zero tolerance for corrupt activities of any kind. Bribes or other improper or unauthorized payments, or acts that create the appearance of promising, offering, giving, or authorizing such payments, are prohibited by this Policy.
