Compliance
We have implemented a compliance programme that includes a range of policies and procedures. Our directors, officers and employees must also observe the local compliance requirements in addition to complying with local laws and regulations in the location where they are employed.
Our Policy Framework
Our policy framework encompasses our values and policies, procedures and guidelines on various compliance topics including anti-corruption, sanctions, money laundering, the prevention of tax evasion, competition law, data protection and conflicts of interest. This framework reflects our commitment to uphold good business practices and to meet or exceed applicable laws and external requirements.
Our managers are responsible for ensuring employees understand and comply with the company’s policies and procedures. Employees and contractors that have access to a work computer must confirm their awareness and understanding of our compliance requirements electronically every year. Local companies will implement their own policies, procedures and guidelines in addition to those of the Group. These are designed to address specific local requirements, while being consistent with our policy framework.
Anti-Corruption Policy
IM Power’s Anti-Corruption Policy contains our clear position on bribery and corruption: the offering, paying, authorising, soliciting or accepting of bribes is unacceptable. We conduct analysis for corruption risks within our businesses and work towards addressing these risks through policies, procedures, guidelines, training and awareness, monitoring and controls.
In accordance with our Anti-Corruption Policy, we do not permit the use of any of our funds or resources as contributions to any political campaign, political party, political candidate or any such affiliated organisations. Although we do not directly participate in party politics, we do on occasion engage in policy debate on subjects of legitimate concern to our business, employees, customers, end users and the communities in which we operate. Any of our officers, employees or associated persons who lobbies on our behalf must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
We may only give and receive appropriate, lawful business gifts and entertainment in connection with our work, provided that such gifts and entertainment satisfy the general principles set out in the Global Anti-Corruption Policy and are not given or received with the intent or prospect of influencing the recipient’s decision-making or other conduct. Furthermore, we have approval procedures in place which provide specific requirements for certain types of gifts and entertainment and certain operations, including our procedure for gifts and entertainment for public officials which applies whenever an employee of our marketing operations intends to arrange entertainment, travel, accommodation or a gift for a public official and the value of the courtesy exceeds a specific threshold.
