CODE OF ETHICS

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct - January 2015

1. Message from the President

Our company has managed over time to gain the confidence and the respect of our business partners due to the professionalism of our employees and the quality of our work. While the high quality of our work is still of outmost importance, how we are doing our work and conducting ourselves is also critical and equally important. Ethics and integrity means more than just complying with the laws and regulations. By doing the right thing every time, no matter what the circumstances, we enforce our deep commitment to the highest ethical standards and business practices in the industry. The Code of Ethics is a guide to help us navigate in the everyday life and provide structure and support when we encounter a difficult situation. It sets the expectations for the integrity and ethics and holds the fundamental principles that we must follow, given that it is impossible to foresee and address all the circumstances that might arise in the course of our business. The Code of Ethics stems from our mission, vision and values and therefore it reflects our corporate culture.

Health and Safety

We consider the health and safety of our employees to be a top priority and our goal is to create an injury­ free workplace. We consider the applicable legislation to be the minimum standard applicable and we encourage the collaboration between all interested parties in order identify and eliminate all hazardous conditions in the workplace.

Drugs and alcohol

In order to achieve our goals of quality and safety, it is vital that no employee should work under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other impairing substances, including prescribed medications. It is strictly prohibited to consume, possess and distribute alcohol, drugs and any other impairing substances. Any employee experiencing problems or having knowledge about an employee having problems is required to inform the management as soon as possible. All matters will be handled with due care and privacy.


4. Business practices

Fair competition

We must never engage in any activities that could be reasonably seen as obstructing the fair market competition. We would promote at all­time a free market competition and denounce any business practices that are conflicting with free market principles.

The following activities are prohibited:

● Not submit a bid or submitting an artificial bid with the purpose of losing or increasing the value of the contract
● Divide or allocate customers, market and territories between Super and other competitors
● Fix and control prices on contract terms
● Limit competition with suppliers and customers

Conflict of interest

A conflict of interest could be real or perceived. A conflict of interest exists when a situation affects the judgment, objectivity or independence of a person due to the differing interest between the personal interest and the professional or public interest. A perceived conflict of interest exists when an independent observer could reasonably determine that a conflict of interest exists, even if not materialized. We should show at all­time fairness and professional independence in our dealings with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and any other third party. Any activities or situations that qualify as a real or perceived conflict of interest should be brought immediately to the management’s attention, which is responsible for assessing the impact and the appropriate measure to be taken. All matters will be treated with the required confidentiality.

Gifts and benefits

We must not, directly or indirectly, accept, offer or promise the giving of any bribe, kickback, commission and other payment in the forms of money, goods or services that could be seen as able to influence conduct with the intent of obtaining a personal or business advantage. Hospitality gifts are permitted solely if they are unsolicited, reasonable as value and in full compliance with the law.

Political activities

Legitimate political activities are permitted as long as they are undertaken outside working hours and without any use of company’s resources. Employees are free to make personal contributions to political parties, as long as they are strictly individual choices identified as such. Employees can express freely their opinion on political and social issues but they must not in any way give the impression of expressing company’s opinion.


5. Quality of projects

We stand firm in our commitment to the highest quality standards applicable to our projects. We work together with our clients in order to ensure that effective and inexpensive solutions to problems are rapidly found and implemented to their full satisfaction and to make sure that the projects are delivered on time and within the allocated budget.
