Code of Ethics

Preamble

The company recognizes the obligations it has to those with whom it conducts its affairs. This includes its employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, competitors and the worldwide community. The company’s reputation, trust and confidence of its customers is one of its most important resources.

Bicom Systems strives to guard this reputation at all times. As such, any transgression of this code (or as amended from time to time) by a Bicom Systems employee or officer may result in disciplinary actions. In broad outline all officers and employees are expected to promote:

• honest and ethical conduct, such as the handling of any possible conflict of interest;
• complete, equitable, accurate, punctual and comprehensible disclosure of the Company’s financial results in accordance with relevant disclosure standards;
• compliance with relevant laws, rules and regulations of relevant jurisdictions;
• deterring ill action; and
• prompt internal reporting of transgressions of the Code, and accountability for following the Code.

Relations with Customers

• Bicom Systems believes that integrity in dealings with customers is an obligation for a successful business relationship. This principle presides over all parts of the company’s dealings with its customers.

• Bicom Systems will encourage and assist its employees to develop relevant skills and progress their careers within the company.
• Bicom Systems expects its employees to act with integrity and maintain high ethical standards. In particular, information received by employees in the course of business dealings will not be used improperly for personal gain or any purpose except that for which it is given.
• Employees will not engage in an activity for personal gain which may be in conflict with the company’s business interests or applicable law. Employees must disclose any personal interest or interests of their immediate family members which could create a possible conflict of interest for the company.

Relations with suppliers

• Bicom Systems will aim to develop relationships with its suppliers based on mutual trust.
• All commercially sensitive matters related to the company and a supplier will be confidential.

• Receipt of gifts or favours by employees may be illegal or can give rise to difficult situations and may be construed as an improper inducement to grant some advantage in return.

  favours of any kind must not be requested or sought;
• money in any manner must never be given or accepted;
• reasonable small tokens and hospitality may be accepted as long as they do not put the recipient under any obligation, real or apparent, do not contravene with any applicable law, may not be misunderstood or could not be offered in return in similar kind.

The environment

• Bicom Systems aims to facilitate employees to express genuine concerns about behaviour or decisions that they view as unethical.
• Bicom Systems encourages employees to promptly report any potentially illegal, incorrect and/or unethical behaviour they discover at their workplace or in connection with their work.
