Our ethical policy has been established to set standards and provide guidelines regarding the way Civa should operate in Ethical matters. It is important to retain this set of core values and approaches to the process of doing business on a daily basis.

The Ethical policies focus around ten key areas as follows:

Employees

Civa values its Employees as a key resource. An atmosphere of good employee communication, involvement and responsibility both individually and as a team is of central importance. The personal development and optimum use of Employee talent is strongly encouraged.

Every employee has an equal opportunity for personal recognition and career development, regardless of personal background or belief. No form of discrimination or harassment would be tolerated. An important part of this policy is recruiting, selecting, rewarding and promoting people who demonstrate entrepreneurial behavior and show individual initiative in combination with a high degree of knowledge and experience of our products, markets and culture.

Customers

Everybody must play their part in providing quality and efficiency to customers. Civa believes that integrity in dealings with customers is a prerequisite for a successful and sustained business relationship. Personal contact, helpful and responsive action are features of the service we provide to develop long term relations with our customers.

Suppliers

Civa will aim to develop relationships with our suppliers based on mutual trust and all dealings will be conducted in a professional manner at all times. We also undertake to pay our suppliers on time and according to agreed terms. All supplier relationships are assessed against our Quality  standards and feedback is given to suppliers on a quarterly basis.

The Environment

Civa is concerned with the conservation of the environment in its broadest sense, and recognizes that certain resources are finite and must be used responsibly. We will therefore:

• Work with others toward a consensus on environmental quality standards, which are desirable and attainable.
• Aim to improve all aspects of the business in respect of environmental issues.
• Pay particular attention to environmental issues including the conservation of energy and natural resources, the control of noise levels, recycling of waste material and the utilization of non- polluting technology. This is reflected in our emphasis to supply recycled promotional products as an option wherever possible.
• Only use ISO14001 certified PCB Factories

Health & Safety
Civa provides healthy and safe working conditions all its Employees and will do all this is reasonable and practicable to:

• Protect the health and safety of its employees and minimize any adverse effects on the environment.
• Implement working practices to prevent personal injury and damage to property.
• Making all employees aware of risk assessments and raise awareness of their own responsibilities for the health and safety of themselves and others.

Human Rights

Civa is committed to the prevention of any violation of established Human Rights of any kind, particularly where child labor or undesirable forced acts are involved.

Social Responsibility

Civa is committed to and encourages collaboration with organizations that support Fair Trade and operate non-exploitative employment practices in their own businesses and supply chains throughout the world.

Conflict of interest

This policy does not allow bribery or political contributions and requires employees to seek to avoid conflicts of interest and to disclose any that do exist. Employees must ensure that their actions are not affected by conflicts of interests. This covers the receipt of giving of gifts or hospitality that is prohibited.

Information

Civa regards information for the purpose of its business as a corporate asset, which must be protected against loss of availability, infringement and improper disclosure. We seek to ensure as far as reasonably practicable, that this information is protected. This applies also to intellectual property including inventions, trade secrets, technical information, product design, production expertise, customers’ information etc.

Records

Honesty, completeness and accuracy of records are vital. Records of transactions should be maintained in an accurate, complete, transparent and timely manner in accordance with accounting principles. No unrecorded funds or assets should be established or maintained.

Civa believes that implementation of the ethics policy:

• Promotes a culture of ethical behavior throughout the organization
• Sets clear standards for employees.
• makes good business sense.
• protects the integrity and enhances our reputation.
• supports the principles of good corporate governance.
