What Do We Do?

We maintain zero tolerance toward all forms of bribery, corruption, and kickbacks—whether given or received, direct or indirect. Due to the nature of our work, we frequently interact with government officials and business partners worldwide. Therefore, full compliance with our good business conduct policy is critically important in both our internal processes and activities with business partners. This compliance is supported through defined policies, procedures, and reporting mechanisms.

What’s Next?

We will continue to develop our compliance system to effectively meet regulatory obligations in the countries where we operate, in line with best practices. The Electrip Code of Ethics Document is available on our website.
All new employees are required to complete training on ethical principles and practices, which is renewed every two years.

How Do We Ensure It?

We conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with our good business conduct policy. These audits are rigorously performed to verify that our employees and business partners act in accordance with our policies, and corrective actions are taken when necessary. Additionally, the audit processes are reported to ensure continuous improvement.
