Anti-Bribery Code: We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any illicit acts committed by our employees. This code identifies our best practice in the areas of fraud, insider trading, conflict of interest and misuse of information. We enlist the expertise of prominent consulting firms, including the Big Four and other globally recognised consulting entities, to inform and enhance our audited financial and compliance advisory services.
We are committed to the highest standards of governance by empowering our management and supporting functions to achieve their vision and strategy across our businesses within a specific compliance framework.
Our management is assisted by four bodies to properly assess all strategic decisions; Executive Panel, Risk Committee, IT Steering Committee and HR Executive Committee and together, we work to ensure accountability, fairness, and transparency.
At the core of our governance and compliance framework lies an unwavering commitment to ethical conduct.
Complementing our commitment to financial integrity, our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy outlines comprehensive procedures for customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and reporting suspicious activities.
Furthermore, our Sanction Policy underscores our dedication to global regulatory compliance by providing a framework to screen transactions, business partners, and individuals against international sanctions lists.
We respect all internationally recognised human rights best practices and condemn discrimination, modern slavery and child labour, expecting the same commitment from our partners and suppliers. We proactively build awareness among our stakeholders around healthy and safe working conditions.
Our Ethical Policies and procedures stand as a comprehensive outline of the core principles that underpin compliant conduct within AKI. Serving as a foundational guide, these policies inform the spectrum of actions and decisions undertaken in our daily pursuits. This extends to our interactions with both employees and business partners, as well as shaping our ethically sound market practices and these directives are binding for all AKI employees across the entirety of our organisation.
