As a global solutions company, Infihive (or the “company”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity throughout its business practices and relationships. To encourage and facilitate ethical conduct, Infihive has established company standards of business practices and regulatory compliance called the Infihive Global Compliance Program (“IGCP”) which applies to all Infihive employees, directors, and officers.
Infihive expects that its suppliers will similarly share and embrace the letter and spirit of our commitment to integrity. We understand that suppliers are independent entities; however, the business practices and actions of a supplier may impact and/or reflect upon Infihive. This Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) contains the standards of ethical and professional practices with which we expect our suppliers to comply and which operate as an extension of our corporate values.
Infihive expects all suppliers and their employees, agents, and subcontractors (suppliers’ employees, agents, and subcontractors shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Representatives”) to adhere to the Code while they are conducting business with and/or on behalf of Infihive. All Infihive suppliers should educate their Representatives to ensure they understand and comply with the Code.
Our relationship with our suppliers is an integral part of our business. We strive to build good working relationships with our suppliers and will choose products or services based on their overall merit. This is comprised of a number of components, including but not limited to reputation for service and corporate integrity, socially responsible practices, competitiveness of price, quality of products and services, and responsiveness.

It is crucial that each Infihive supplier engaged with the Company fully understands and complies with this Code during the course of its business with the Company. This Code cannot anticipate every possible situation or cover every topic in detail; suppliers should behave in an ethical manner and use sound judgment in all of their business operations and decisions. Each supplier’s commitment to ethical behavior and this Code is essential in order for the Company to maintain the highest degree of honesty and integrity in its supplier relations and in its operations.
Infihive reserves the right to terminate business with any supplier that fails to comply with these standards or with applicable laws and regulations. Infihive may also refer acts and omissions in violation of applicable laws and regulations to local authorities.
The existence of this Code, and the standards contained herein, do not render Infihive liable for any violation of laws and regulations or other act or omission by the supplier. The terms and conditions of the employment of supplier employees shall continue to be the sole responsibility of the supplier. Access to this Code or to other Company policies, and receipt of any Company training, in no way implies that supplier employees are employees of Infihive or that Infihive is responsible for the conduct of suppliers or their employees or representatives.
If you wish to report questionable behavior or possible violation of the Supplier Code of Conduct, Infihive has a variety of resources available to assist you. You are encouraged to work first with your primary Infihive contact in resolving a business practice or compliance concern.
Infihive will not tolerate any retribution or retaliation taken against any individual who has, in good faith, sought out advice or reported questionable behavior and/or a possible violation.

As we continue to grow in global markets, the effectiveness of our ethics and compliance program is paramount to fulfilling those responsibilities.
Adhering to our core beliefs and practices in ethical behavior, legal compliance and socially responsible corporate conduct, together with delivering outstanding services to our clients, is the foundation upon which we will continue to grow and succeed. The purpose of this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is to inform and educate our employees about the important principles which underlie all our daily activities.
Through the questions and answers and other examples provided, this Code will assist you in addressing situations you may face in conducting business on behalf of Infihive. It also lets you know where you should turn to seek answers or guidance in such situations.

The organisation commits to:
This commitment includes training managers and all other employees about their rights and responsibilities under the equality policy. Responsibilities include staff conducting themselves to help the organisation provide equal opportunities in employment, and prevent bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination
All staff should understand they, as well as their employer, can be held liable for acts of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, in the course of their employment, against fellow employees, customers, suppliers and the public
Such acts will be dealt with as misconduct under the organisation’s grievance and/or disciplinary procedures, and any appropriate action will be taken. Particularly serious complaints could amount to gross misconduct and lead to dismissal without notice
Further, sexual harassment may amount to both an employment rights matter and a criminal matter, such as in sexual assault allegations. In addition, harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 – which is not limited to circumstances where harassment relates to a protected characteristic – is a criminal offence
Monitoring will also include assessing how the equality policy, and any sporting action plan, are working in practice, reviewing them annually, and considering and taking action to address any issues
