Anti-corruption
NCC rejects all forms of corruption and systematically conducts risk assessments and training initiatives. The organization is guided by its compliance program.
Practical guidelines – Zero tolerance
- I always show care and restraint, and include a professional/serious part, if I offer a gift to customers, public officials, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants or other external stakeholders, or if I invite these individuals to participate in dinners, parties, sport events and any other form of business entertainment.
- I do not accept hospitality or a gift from anyone with whom NCC has, or will have a business relationship if it represents more than common business courtesy, creates a sense of obligation or is contrary to NCC’s policies of care and modesty.
- I convince business partners of NCC’s position through the strength of my commercial argument.
- I never provide anything of value to a public official unless I have confirmed that it is legal and consistent with NCC Compass, the stakeholders own regulations/guidelines or other industry guidelines.
- I never distort the true nature of any transaction. I do not use a third party, such as an agent or distributor, to pay a facility payment or bribe.
- When in doubt, I turn to the Ask Me function for guidance.
