Compliance
Responsible, systemized operations
UGLDS is a part of a group-wide program to identify and avoid compliance risks. In addition, UGLDS has adopted a wide policy to protect UGLDS and its employees while safeguarding the collaboration with business partners based on trust in the present and future.
UGLDS focuses on three core areas:
- Competition Law
- Anti-corruption
- Sanctions list assessment
A cornerstone of the compliance system is a comprehensive training concept for employees – as compliance begins with them. The UGLDS Compliance Team is the essential consulting and assessment authority for the three-stage policy. The compliance policy follows a uniform structure.
Preventing Corruption
UGLDS has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption. Therefore, the UGLDS has created an anti-bribery guideline that defines the standards of behavior that apply to every employee and representative of the UGLDS .
Informan System
The UGLDS has implemented a whistleblowing policy/ombudsman system for Anti-Bribery, Corruption, and Sanctions Laws to enable employees, business partners, and third parties to report any concerns about criminal acts and other severe offenses in confidence.
Of course, concerns regarding the above matters can also be reported to an employee’s line manager or contact people within UGLDS.
Code of Business Standards
UGLDS ‘s trust from customers, employees, business partners, and the public is a top priority.
To further strengthen this trust, the UGLDS has assigned itself a Code of Business Standards that establishes the company’s fundamental values and standards of behavior in binding form for all employees.
UGLDS Code of Business Standards forms the basis of all business decisions and regulates responsible interaction with all stakeholders.
Supplier Code of Conduct
UGLDS expects its suppliers to respect the standards in this Supplier Code of Conduct, implement them using appropriate measures, and adhere to them in their business activities.
Sanctions (Updated regularly based on legal and regulatory requirements.)
The sending of goods or parcels is prohibited under all applicable sanctions laws. For example, because of the type of contents, the intended recipient or the country to or from which they are to be sent may be prohibited by sanction law. Sanctions laws include all laws, regulations, and orders imposing sanctions (including trade restrictions and economic sanctions) on countries, individuals, or entities, including those imposed by OFAC.
