iov42 is committed to provide a work environment that is free from discrimination, intimidation, harassment, abuse, and bullying in any form. Verbal or physical conduct by any employee that harasses another or disrupts another’s work performance or creates an intimidating, offensive, abusive, or hostile work environment will not be tolerated. This particularly applies to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
Understanding our responsibility to contribute to a sustainable society, we are committed to lead the industry in minimising the impact of our activities on the environment. In addition, we are developing solutions to leverage our technology for climate action.
If any employee sees or hears something that they think isn’t right, they are strongly encouraged to speak up. Our employees are especially encouraged to raise legitimate concerns in a responsible way through the established grievance procedure in circumstances where they believe that there has been some form of malpractice, underhanded, or illegal behaviour and where disclosure is in the public interest (“Whistleblowing”). Similarly, employees are encouraged and expected to help each other by speaking out when they happen to witness any form of discrimination, intimidation, harassment, abuse, or bullying, or when a co-worker’s conduct makes them or others uncomfortable. Any reports, concerns and complaints will be handled with the highest level of respect and in the strictest confidence.
We appreciate that there may be occasions where employees see or hear things that while not illegal or underhanded, may well be unethical or make them feel uncomfortable. To address these concerns, iov42 has in place an “Ethics Hotline” for these situations.
iov42 takes its responsibilities to comply with applicable laws and regulations very seriously and each employee is expected to comply with applicable legal requirements and prohibitions.
We believe that the full respect of human rights and democracy are the best context to develop our operation, and that our commitment to human rights results from our ethical principles more than from our legal obligations. Therefore, iov42 is strongly committed to meet its responsibility to respect all internationally recognized human rights standards, such as the rights set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the principles concerning fundamental rights set out in the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
