OFFERING AND RECEIVING BENEFITS

The practice of offering and receiving gifts is acceptable in business if it serves the purpose of building good, sincere relations with commercial partners. However, the pillars of BEE INVEST’s cooperation with customers and business partners are the quality of our products and services, as well as high standards of professionalism in relations with the external stakeholders. We refuse to approve of anything, including financial gratification, gifts and complimentary services, which may affect the objectivity of our business decisions.

1. We are only allowed to accept low-value gifts (the value cap defined in the PIT Act should be used as a reference), provided they do not affect the way we perform our duties or influence our decisions and do not obligate reciprocity, or if they are promotional items presented officially or publicly (for instance during a formal event).
2. We refrain from offering benefits to our business partners other than customary gifts, including promotional or other low-value items (the value cap defined in the PIT Act should be used as a reference).
3. We refrain from attending entertainment events and informal meetings hosted by our commercial partners if this could affect our objectivity in making business decisions relating to such partners.
4. At the Company, we receive delegations of public authorities, business partners, and potential business partners. This is permitted to advance and present the advantages of using BEE INVEST’s products and technologies, provided this entails no attempt to influence any decisions with a promise of personal gain.
5. If in doubt whether to offer or accept a gift, follow the internal regulations in place at the Company or, failing that, consult your immediate superior or the Ethics Committee.
