Ethical Management Policy
The provisions of this law set minimum standards, not maximum standards, and the law does not prevent companies from achieving even higher standards. Companies that implement the law are expected to comply with other applicable national and other applicable laws, and to apply whichever of these laws or the provisions of this basic law provides the most protection.
1. EMPLOYMENT IS VOLUNTARY
- Force cannot be used, there is no drudgery or compulsory labor.
- Employees cannot be expected to give "guarantees" to their employers or surrender their identity documents to their employers, and employees have the right to quit work with notice in accordance with the rules of labor law.
- Workers have the right to form trade unions, join trade unions of their own choice without discrimination, and to bargain collectively.
- The employer takes an honest approach to trade unions and their organizational activities.
- Workers' representatives shall not be subjected to discrimination and shall freely exercise their representative functions at work.
- Where the right to freedom of assembly and collective bargaining is restricted by law, the employer facilitates, not impedes, the development of parallel environments for independent and free grouping and bargaining.
- A safe and healthy working environment is provided, taking into account the available information on the sector and its associated hazards. Appropriate measures are taken to prevent all kinds of accidents and injuries that may arise from, in connection with or during the work by minimizing possible hazard occurrences in the work area to the extent possible.
- Employees are subject to regular and recorded training on health and safety matters and such training is repeated for new or replacement employees.
- Clean toilets and safe drinking water are provided, as well as sanitary equipment for food storage, if necessary.

- Child labor will not be recruited.
- Young people under 18 will not be employed.
- These policies and procedures shall comply with the provisions of relevant International Labor Organization (ILO) standards.
- The wages and benefits paid for a standard working week shall be at a minimum, in accordance with either national standards set by law or established criteria in the sector, whichever is higher. In all cases, wages should be at a level that covers basic needs as well as discretionary expenditures.
- All employees should be given written and easily understandable information about their pay and conditions of employment before they start work, and details of their remuneration whenever they are paid.
- Working hours must comply with national laws or industry standards taken as a benchmark, whichever provides greater protection.
- In any case, employees may not be required to work more than 45 hours per week on a continuous basis, and on average they are given one day off every 7 days. The daily working time shall be regulated in such a way that it shall not exceed 11 hours on an optional basis and shall not be requested on a continuous basis
- There shall be no discrimination in hiring, remuneration, training opportunities, promotion, or dismissal or retirement on the basis of race, social class, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, union membership or political affiliation.
- Wherever possible, work is carried out on the basis of an employment relationship established by national law and practice.
- Obligations to workers subject to labor or social security laws and regulations arising out of the regular employment relationship cannot be avoided by the excessive use of fixed-term contracts, temporary contracts, subcontracting, work-from-home schemes or apprenticeship schemes that are not really intended to provide skills or regular employment, nor by the excessive use of fixed-term employment contracts.
- Physical abuse or disciplinary action, threats of physical abuse, sexual or other harassment, verbal abuse and forms of intimidation are prohibited.
