At Nuaflex, our reputation is built not just on the quality of our flexible metal hoses, but on the integrity of our actions. This Code of Conduct serves as the ethical compass for our organization, outlining the principles that guide our decisions, our interactions, and our commitment to doing business the right way. It applies to every employee, officer, and director of Nuaflex, as well as our partners and suppliers.

1. Our Core Commitment

We are dedicated to conducting our business with honesty, transparency, and respect. We believe that ethical behavior is the foundation of long-term success. We are committed to:

• Compliance: Strictly adhering to all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.
• Integrity: Being truthful and transparent in all our dealings.
• Respect: Treating everyone with dignity and fairness.

2. Business Integrity and Fair Competition

Nuaflex succeeds through the superiority of our products and the excellence of our service, never through unethical or illegal practices.

• Anti-Corruption: We have a zero-tolerance policy for bribery and corruption. No employee may offer, give, or accept bribes, kickbacks, or inappropriate gifts to influence business decisions or gain an unfair advantage.
• Fair Competition: We compete vigorously but fairly. We strictly adhere to antitrust and competition laws. We do not enter into agreements with competitors to fix prices, allocate markets, or restrict trade.
• Conflicts of Interest: Employees must avoid situations where their personal interests conflict, or appear to conflict, with the interests of Nuaflex. Any potential conflict must be disclosed immediately to management.

3. Workplace Environment

We strive to create a workplace where every individual can thrive and contribute to their fullest potential.

• Non-Discrimination: We provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified persons without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or disability.
• Harassment-Free Workplace: We are committed to providing a work environment free from harassment, intimidation, and offensive behavior. We do not tolerate physical, verbal, or sexual harassment.
• Health and Safety: The safety of our employees is paramount. We comply with all health and safety regulations and work continuously to identify and mitigate risks in our manufacturing facilities and offices.

4. Protection of Assets and Information

Our intellectual property and confidential information are vital assets that must be protected.

• Confidentiality: Employees must safeguard Nuaflex’s confidential information, including trade secrets, technical data, and customer lists. This obligation continues even after employment ends.
• Data Privacy: We respect the privacy of our employees, customers, and partners. We collect and process personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR).
• Company Assets: Employees are responsible for the proper use and protection of company assets, including physical equipment, technology, and intellectual property. These assets should be used for legitimate business purposes only.

5. Social Responsibility and Sustainability

We recognize our responsibility to the wider community and the environment.

• Environmental Stewardship: We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact. We adhere to all environmental laws and strive for sustainable practices in our manufacturing processes and supply chain.
• Human Rights: We respect fundamental human rights and expect our suppliers and business partners to do the same. We strictly prohibit the use of forced labor or child labor in any part of our operations.

6. Reporting and Accountability

Upholding this Code is a collective responsibility.

• Speaking Up: We encourage an open culture where employees feel safe raising concerns. If you suspect a violation of this Code or the law, you have a duty to report it to your manager, HR, or through our designated compliance channels.
• No Retaliation: Nuaflex prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith.
• Consequences: Violations of this Code of Conduct are taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment and legal action.
