Code of Ethics
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
GENERAL STATEMENT
The purpose of this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) is to provide a framework for making ethical business decisions in the course of ‘Fatherhood Community Solutions’ (FCS) (the “Company”) business, to establish the importance of exercising sound, ethical judgment and to recognize the shared values we have with our customers, employees, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. The principles outlined in the Code will be recognisable, for they reflect the fundamental values of fairness and integrity that are part of our daily lives. All directors and employees of the Company, and members of their immediate family, are subject to the Code.
• To our customers, we are committed to providing quality, and innovative service.
• To our employees, we are committed to fair and unbiased treatment, strict adherence to our policy against discrimination in the workplace and providing a safe and healthy working environment.
• To our suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business, we are committed to an ethical business relationship based on mutually beneficial long-term relationships.
The Code cannot anticipate every situation that may surface, and some ethical issues may arise that are not explicitly covered within the Code. Therefore, all employees of the Company are responsible for exercising good judgment, including seeking guidance when appropriate, when making decisions. In addition, the Company has additional policies that provide guidance on topics discussed in the Code. All employees are expected to conduct themselves with a high degree of integrity and adhere to acceptable work practices at all times.
Any waiver of the application of the Code with respect to executive officers or directors must be approved by the Company’s Directors or its designated committee and must be disclosed to the extent required by law or regulation.
No one will have authority to order, direct, request or induce an employee to violate the Code or any law, whether criminal or civil. Therefore, no director, officer or employee will be excused for violation of the Code or any law at the request or direction of another person. Any attempt by an employee to order, direct, request or induce another employee to violate the Code or any law, whether successful or not, is itself a violation of the Code and may be a violation of the law.
The Code will be made available to all employees via hardcopy postings at each Company site and electronically on ‘FCS’s’ web-site (www.fatherhoodcommunitysolutions.org). If you have any questions with respect to the Code, including any questions with respect to compliance with the Code, you should address such questions to your supervisor or/and the project manager as appropriate.
The information and policies provided in the Code do not amend or supersede the terms of any policies of the Company which are more detailed or restrictive.
