Among other things, our ethical guidelines cover our expectations for compliance with our high ethical standard, various forms of conflicts of interest, proper use of the company's equipment and property, requirements for communication from the company to be open and clear, the obligation of confidentiality and notification and the requirements for care in the trading of financial instruments.
Each individual manager is responsible for ensuring that employees are familiar with the rules and for putting ethical dilemmas on the agenda. HR and Compliance will assist with this and can take the initiative for or implement information and training measures if needed.
It is a requirement that everyone involved complies at all times with current laws and regulations, acts in a responsible and loyal manner with regard to SG's ethical guidelines and refrains from behaviour that might damage the company's reputation.
SG Finance puts a great deal of work into making its employees aware of the company's ethical guidelines, including the anti-money laundering regulations, industry culture and ethics and the statutory regulations that we are required to follow in our day-to-day work.
We believe that increasing awareness and regular reminders and updates make it more difficult to go wrong - something that will benefit all of us.
