Responsibility · Ethics and integrity
Integrity in everything we do
A reputation is built on how a company behaves when no one is watching. These principles govern how everyone at Hazaar does business, and we expect the same of everyone who works with us.
Our principles
How we do business
The law is our minimum
We comply with every law that applies to us, and set our own standards above it.
No bribery, ever
We do not offer, pay, request or accept bribes or improper payments, directly or through anyone else.
Conflicts declared and managed
Decisions are made in Hazaar’s interest. Any conflict of interest is declared and managed.
Fair dealing
We deal fairly and in writing with partners, suppliers and customers.
Honest records
We keep our books, records, test results and documents complete and accurate.
Information protected
We protect personal and confidential information and use it only for its proper purpose.
Respect for people
We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or abuse of any kind.
Speaking up is protected
Anyone can raise a concern, and we never retaliate against anyone who does so in good faith.
In practice
What these principles mean day to day
Integrity in practice
- Gifts and hospitality are accepted or given only if modest and occasional, and never while a contract is being decided. Anything above a token value is recorded.
- Partners, suppliers and contractors are chosen on merit, through a fair and documented process.
- Every significant decision is recorded, with a designated partner accountable for it.
- Everyone at Hazaar follows our Code of Business Conduct, and the firms we work with follow our Partner Code of Conduct.
- Breaches are investigated and dealt with, whoever is involved.
Report a concern in confidence
