Code of Ethics

We believe that high moral standards and ethical conduct lead to successful professional practice. Thus, in addition to general ethical standards, we maintain and regularly update our internal Code of Ethical Conduct – guidelines that form a basis for our team where each and every member shares the same principles in both personal and professional life. We want to confirm our strong position that well-defined ethics are the foundation of every business and its activities from service and quality to interaction with partners, suppliers, customers, and competitors.

Our guidelines of ethical conduct cover:

1. Values: for more please see “Values”.
