Code of Conduct Procedure

The Agile Company

At The Agile Company, we believe that maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct is crucial to our success. This Code of Conduct outlines the principles and guidelines that govern our actions and decisions as employees and representatives of TAC. By adhering to this Code, we uphold our commitment to integrity, fairness, and professionalism in all aspects of our work.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Employees must familiarise themselves with relevant legal requirements and ensure the actions are in full compliance.
Any illegal or unethical behaviour must be promptly reported to the appropriate authority within the company.
We will maintain transparency in our operations, providing accurate and reliable information to our stakeholders, including employees, clients, partners, and the public. 

Honesty and Integrity

We value honesty and integrity as fundamental principles in our business interactions. Employees must act with honesty, fairness, and transparency in all dealings with colleagues, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Employees must not engage in any form of fraud, misrepresentation, or deceptive practices. Confidential information, including customer and company data, must be treated with utmost care and confidentiality. Unauthorized disclosure or misuse of such information is prohibited.

any hazards, accidents, or unsafe conditions promptly.

charitable initiatives and promoting social responsibility.
