Ethical
Ethical behaviour involves using an overall set of corporate values to govern actions and decisions that come up in business. Using morality to make corporate decisions is part of the corporate culture, and is seen as a social responsibility. In making business decisions, we will only do with justice and fairness. We will also ensure our employees understand the corporate values and make clear the behaviour that the company seeks from them.
