It’s about doing the right thing, not just when someone is looking, but all the time.

Our policies are designed to promote ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements. Macktron promotes responsible business practices with every business function and at every level of the company and we expect our stakeholders throughout the value chain to meet our ethical expectations and standards as well.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics aims to empower our workforce, to foster a culture of transparency, drive integrity and create an inclusive and safe workplace. Macktron’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers policies related to governance, ethics and corporate social responsibility, supporting our commitment to conducting business with uncompromising integrity and transparency. It describes not only doing business with integrity toward employees, but our customers, shareholders, supply chain partners and all other third parties. It sets forth what Macktron values, what Macktron prohibits as a company and highlights programs and resources to help employees meet these expectations.

At all times, we conduct our business in an honest, fair, safe and honourable way. We find that this approach nurtures loyalty, continuity and sustained growth whilst strengthening relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees. At Macktron we pride ourselves on our unquestioning integrity.

Macktron and its management are dedicated to fostering a culture of transparency, integrity and honesty and ask its stakeholders to actively participate in creating and maintaining this culture. It’s about doing the right thing, not just when someone is looking, but all the time.

The executive of Macktron actively supports comprehensive communication of the Code of Conduct and will ensure that it is implemented by all. The position of Compliance Officer has been created for the purpose of demonstrating the emphasis placed on implementing this corporate culture.

I. LEGAL CONDUCT
Adhering to the laws and legal structures of the countries in which we do business is a fundamental principle of Macktron. Staff members must adhere to the statutory regulations of the legal systems under which they act.

II. MUTUAL RESPECT, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY
