INTERNAL RELATIONS

Respect for employee dignity and friendly working conditions

In order to ensure a friendly work environment at BEE INVEST we have adopted

basic principles of cooperation based on honesty, respect in everyday relations, dialogue, teamwork and commitment to creating a culture reflecting our Core Values.

• We foster a work environment underpinned by integrity, mutual respect, tolerance and cooperation.
• We reject all forms of discrimination and bullying, including harassment, intimidation and humiliation, and we are strongly committed to counteracting such behaviour.
• We oppose all forms of sexual harassment, and we are strongly committed to counteracting them.
• We do not accept offensive behaviour or comments.

We never take advantage of our position within the Company to achieve personal gains.

• We never give contradictory instructions, and if we receive such instructions we may refuse to act on them, until they are fully clarified by superiors.
• We only accept instructions consistent with the remit assigned to our job position.
• If we receive an unclear instruction, we have the right to receive additional clarification as to what is expected of us.
• As managers, we never give instructions in breach of the law or such that would require employees to overstep their remit.

The management staff are obliged to foster a good atmosphere in the workplace, in particular by:

• treating employees as individuals and partners,
• paying attention to any issues and concerns brought up by employees, making sure that there is a suitable place and ample time to discuss them,
• supporting their subordinates through any difficulties, when they may need special help,
• doing their best to ensure that all tasks connected with the departure of an employee are performed with due regard to ensuring ethical conduct towards the departing employee.
