Values and Ethics

At CentoTech ethical business conduct isn’t just a part of what we do—it’s at the very core of how we operate. Doing the right thing for our employees, customers, stakeholders and communities has helped us earn trust and build partnerships that will drive us forward in our next century, and beyond.
Each year, CentoTech leaders host a live, company-wide broadcast event with employees across the globe to underscore the importance of intentional and ethical decision-making in everything we do.

Code of Conduct

The CentoTech Code of Conduct establishes behavioural expectations for our employees at all levels of the company – wherever they are in the world. Along with Company Values, the code serves as the foundation for our workplace culture and provides the basis for the way we conduct business.
While we are committed to performing all business in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and provide our employees with a robust set of internal policies, we believe that it is our commitment to operating with integrity that ensures our long-term business success.
Every year from January to February, managers and employees meets to review and discuss CentoTech expectations to keep promises, hold ourselves and each other accountable, and model ethical behaviour. As part of these discussions, all employees reaffirm their personal commitment by annually signing the Code of Conduct and acknowledging their responsibilities to ask questions, seek guidance and to raise concerns about potential violations.

Compliance

Complying with external regulations and our own strong internal policies and procedures is not only the right thing to do — it is vital to the ongoing success of our company. To ensure we maintain effectiveness and continually enhance this area, compliance monitoring and assessments are built into all levels of the business.
Senior leaders of every CentoTech business and function are responsible for identifying, analysing, raising and addressing key compliance issues. They do this through the Compliance Risk Management Board (CRMB), which is co-chaired by the Chief Compliance Officer and Controller, as well as involvement from other senior executive leaders.
The CRMB's oversight enables the company to identify risk areas and ensure consistent actions across the company in order to remain compliant. It also facilitates cross-enterprise discussion to support proactive management of emergent risks.
