A Message from Our Compliance Officer
The Code of Business Ethics applies to all Level-(1) Global Solutions employees.
Additionally, third parties, such as consultants, agents and independent contractors are required to comply with the Code when acting on Level-(1) Global Solutions’ behalf.
Business ethics are critical for our company’s success because they build trust and transparency. Trust and transparency, in turn, build the right environment for our people, our clients, our suppliers, our stakeholders and the communities in which we work. They are fundamental to how we work and live throughout the world.
The Level-(1) Global Solutions Code of Business Ethics shows how we can build the right environment. Through specific “action statements," it captures how we put our core values and principles into practice and what we must do to comply with the law. While the Code does not try to capture every possible action, it reminds us that Level-(1) Global Solutions will not tolerate behavior that falls short of these expectations. To guide our people further, it includes links to key Level-(1) Global Solutions policies.
The Code is designed to help each of us aim higher than simply complying with the law: It goes without saying that we comply with applicable laws—we hold ourselves to a greater standard. Our target is ethical business practices—running our business in a manner we can be proud of and which reflects the image and heritage of Level-(1) Global Solutions. We strive to be a good corporate citizen, making a positive contribution in our relationships with all key stakeholders, including the communities in which we work and live, as well as with clients, suppliers, employees and partners.
When we live our core values we make good decisions. Our Code of Business Ethics guides how to behave according to those values. For those situations in which it is clear how to apply the law or our policy, we have zero tolerance for violations. In the more difficult situations that involve hard judgments between competing values, we expect all of our people to get assistance and involve others to help make good decisions. Level-(1) Global Solutions investigates alleged violations of our Code and policies, and we discipline violators, including terminating their employment where appropriate.
Acting ethically is your personal responsibility. Employees who come forward with concerns play an important role in maintaining our ethical workplace and high-performance business.
Do more than read this Code—measure your actions against it. You have a responsibility to act when you have good reason to suspect a violation of this Code.
IT starts here.™
