Code of Ethics
At Neilson Communications we make it a rule to act with integrity at all times.
Our business principles commit us to comply with all rules and regulations in each country where we operate and do not accept any form of corruption.
We implement this commitment through our Code of Ethics, which has been in place since 2015. The Code of Ethics states a zero tolerance policy on corruption and demands compliance with all relevant laws and our own business principles. It states, among other things, that business partners should not provide any kind of gifts or favours to Neilson Communications employees. In the same way, Neilson employees must not ask for or accept any personal advantage from a business partner.
All our business units are regularly assessed as regards to the risks of business corruption. Based on this risk assessment, the Code applies to all business partners and all Neilson Communications employees who are in regular contact. All colleagues working in our offices or at home, and all our business partners must sign the Code of Ethics and commit to comply.
We also ensure our business partners and relevant employees aware of the Code and we provide the information and training necessary to understand and comply with it. This also includes ensuring our suppliers are aware and comply with the Australian Governments Modern Slavery Act of 2018.
Neilson Communications has a confidential whistleblowing procedure in place whereby potential breaches can be reported confidentially, and we follow up on reported incidents in a thorough and responsible manner.
