They are a foundation for all of our efforts to create an excellent environment for each worker to pursue his or her career goals.
3.Humane Treatment: We will not tolerate any harsh and inhumane treatment anywhere in our company. This includes prohibitions against any form of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion or verbal abuse of workers. Not only these acts themselves, but any threats to engage in such unacceptable conduct, are prohibited. Employees who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Our anti- harassment policy applies to and prohibits harassment by any person involved in the operations of the Company including supervisors, co-workers and independent contractors.

Please do not take unnecessary safety risks under any circumstances. Please report to management any unsafe condition you observe that represents a potential hazard to the safety of any employee, customer or visitor to our locations.
10. Zero Tolerance Policy for Workplace Violence: We affirm that violence in the workplace – physical or emotional – is unacceptable. The costs of workplace violence are great, both in human and financial terms. Therefore, we adopted this Zero Tolerance Policy for workplace violence.

13. Voicing Your Concerns: We don’t condone any violation of this Code of Conduct.
We believe work-related problems, questions, or complaints can best be resolved by frank and prompt discussion between our employees and management. Work-related problems or issues should be brought to the immediate attention of management for resolution.
If an employee has a work-related problem or issue, the following procedure should be followed:
a) The employee should discuss the issue privately with his/her immediate supervisor.
b) If the immediate supervisor is unable to or does not solve the issue, or if the matter is personal in nature or the employee does not feel comfortable discussing the matter with his/her immediate supervisor, the employee should discuss the matter with the next level of management or with Human Resources.
c) If the employee is not satisfied with the resolution of the issue at this level, he/she may take the issue to each level of management up to the CEO, whose recommendation the matter will be final and binding.
d)Employees shall be able to use this procedure without any fear of retribution.
A Final Word: We appreciate and value each employee’s choice to be part of our company, to help contribute to its long-term success. We affirm our commitment to each of you to maintain and enhance a high standard of conduct and fairness as an employer. Thank you.
