Code of Ethics and model 231

The Code analyses and describes the main principles and conduct the Company’s people must adopt in the day-to-day performance of their professional duties, from administrative transparency to the management of IT services and the confidentiality of personal data, and from the use of internet, telephone and email to health, safety and security, and the environment.

The principles

In the management of its business activities and relations, Sisal is guided by the principles of legality, fairness, integrity, transparency, efficiency, and openness. The company’s employees and associates are therefore required to observe these principles when handling business for the company and when dealing with the Government.

Sisal demands integrity from its employees, regardless of their level and role. Therefore, notwithstanding the fact that employees have the right to conduct private affairs outside those handled in the interests of the company, such right may not be exercised in competition with the company, or in a way that could be linked to illegal activities or that affects normal performance at work.

Also with a view to transparency and correctness, employees may not directly or indirectly pay for or offer gifts, material benefits, payments, or other benefits of any kind to third parties, public officials or private individuals.

Social awareness

The Board of Directors takes into high consideration issues related to social responsibility, such as the protection of minors. Minors, in fact, are often in search of new emotions and are therefore more exposed to the risk of unhealthy gaming behaviour. For this reason, we have instructed the recipients of the Organizational Model, and in particular our own sales network, not to accept in any way or on any occasion requests for gambling from minors.
