Why Do We Have a Code of Conduct?

Our Code of Conduct provides information about key policies and procedures to guide our business dealings with stakeholders. It helps us make ethical decisions at work, and its principles should be at the heart of every business decision we take. We are committed to winning with integrity.

Our Policies

• We have zero tolerance for bribery, kickbacks, criminal conduct, anti-competition, anti-trust, fraudulent, or corrupt business practices at any time.
• We avoid situations that create—or even appear to create—conflicts of interest. We do not engage in practices that distort the market or knowingly create conflicts of interest.
• We price our work independently of competitors, never communicate our bidding strategies, and never disclose information that could distort competition.
• We do not make donations to political organizations.
• We promote safe working conditions and strictly prohibit forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking.
• We comply with all national and local laws where we do business.
• We do not offer, directly or indirectly, anything of value to improperly obtain or retain business. “Anything of value” includes money, meals, event tickets, gifts, entertainment, travel, accommodations, donations, or sponsorships.
• We prohibit employees from working under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as this creates safety risks and impairs judgment.
• We do not permit fraud, defined as intentional acts by any individual—inside or outside the organization—to gain an unfair or illegal advantage through deception or theft. In some cases, serious negligence may be treated as equivalent to intent.
• We are committed to an inclusive and respectful workplace, free from discrimination of any kind. Discrimination based on race, nationality, color, gender, marital status, religion, disability, gender identity, political beliefs, age, or any other legally protected characteristic is strictly prohibited.
• We work to create a positive workplace where every employee is protected from harassment or discrimination. We encourage employees to take an active stand against such behavior, and we ensure that all concerns can be raised and reported without fear of retaliation.
• We employ only individuals who have been appropriately vetted and who have the legal right to work in the country of employment for the type of work being performed.
• In the event of a breach of this Code or related policies, IPMO Advisory AG will conduct a fair investigation. Employees found in violation will be subject to disciplinary action, and the matter may be reported to relevant authorities. Feedback will be provided to those who report concerns.
