Business Ethics

Duni shall conform with good business practice in accordance with the group’s ethical standards and expectations.

Duni is a company employing a lot of staff who have daily contact with customers, suppliers, owners, representatives of society and other stakeholders. They expect Duni to maintain a high ethical profile and observe good business morals. This is why it is important for Duni to have clear ethical guidelines.

Our policy on business ethics is based on the view that Duni should be operated profitably while maintaining good ethics. Above all, this covers how managers and staff should act when coming into contact with customers, suppliers, owners, competitors and other external parties.

Fraudulent conduct
It is of the utmost importance to the company that all of Duni’s business operations are characterized by the highest possible standards of responsibility, openness and honesty. Any suspicion of fraudulent conduct, corruption or other similar situations must be reported without delay to Group Management.

Conflicts of interest
Staff must avoid ending up in situations in which personal, family-related or financial interests may conflict with the interests of Duni. If any such situation were to occur, the employee must report this and seek the advice of a higher manager.

Confidentiality
Staff must not pass on confidential information acquired in connection with their employment, nor must they utilize such information for their own gain.

Ban on competition
It is forbidden for employees of Duni to run – either wholly or in part – a company which competes with Duni’s business.

Gifts / Corruption / Bribes
A bribe is defined as a reward, benefit, or gift. This may involve cash, but it can also relate to goods, travel, services, discounts, gift cards or various kinds of hospitality. It is improper to give or receive benefits which involve the recipient having to act in a certain manner when doing their job. Even if the risk of the employee being influenced is small, the action is still improper. There is no set limit for what is to be regarded as a bribe; the value of the benefit to the recipient is the crucial factor.

Entertaining
Entertaining may be focused either outwards, towards Duni’s business associates, or inwards, towards Duni’s staff. Entertaining must be done with restraint and correspond to what may be considered reasonable in each individual case.

Reporting culture
All staff are responsible for immediately reporting any violation discovered of the ethical rules. Duni guarantees that the employment of individual staff members will not be adversely affected by then raising such issues.
