Addition to improvement of professional qualifications, GPW also takes steps to develop its value-based corporate culture which is unique in awarding and applying employee initiatives that improve the effectiveness of the organisation. The GPW Employee Code of Ethics came into force in November 2013. It defines the core values applicable to all activities of the Company. The Code of Ethics was amended in 2014. It outlines the principles and values to be followed by all GPW employees; disseminates and promotes a culture of compliance with the law and decision-making based on ethical criteria in the following areas: mutual relations among employees, relations with customers and counterparties, relations with competitors, communication, promotion and advertising; and lays down sanctions for non-compliance. The document has been signed by all GPW employees.
