At in4u, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest level of ethical standards, honesty, and in strict adherence to the law. We believe that our conduct is just as important as the quality of our products in contributing to the success of our company. Our Business Conduct and Compliance policies serve as the foundation for how we operate and how we embody our values on a daily basis.
Our Business Conduct Policy outlines the ethical expectations we have for our employees, including honesty, respect, confidentiality, and compliance. All employees are required to certify their understanding and adherence to this policy upon joining in4u and annually thereafter. Any violations of this policy are taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
Compliance is deeply ingrained in our organizational structure and is a key component of our corporate culture. The Business Conduct and Global Compliance team at in4u focuses on ensuring that our high standards are maintained in the areas of Business Conduct, Antitrust Compliance, and Anti-Corruption Compliance.
To bring our policies to life, all in4u employees must complete mandatory annual Business Conduct training. We also provide additional resources, such as the Business Conduct Helpline and website, for employees to seek guidance and address any concerns.
We hold ourselves accountable by conducting internal and independent third-party assessments of our programs to ensure their effectiveness. We continuously update our policies and training to reflect current trends and best practices. Our Chief Compliance Officer regularly reports to the Audit and Finance Committee of the management on the status of our compliance efforts.
