Ethics and integrity is important in everything we do at IroneX Machines, always and everywhere. We want to have relationships with our customers, employees and other stakeholders that are based on mutual trust. The reputation of IroneX Machines depends on how we are viewed by the people we interact with. Customers, suppliers, government authorities and other parties involved in which we operate, judge us by how we behave. Within IroneX Machines, we support each other to do the right thing. We strive for everyone at IroneX Machines to be able to account for their own behavior and choices. We aim to simply walk our talk.
We want to ensure that our employees and partners share our view on ethical behavior, and understand our values. We do not only comply with the law and internal guidelines but also align our actions with our principal values and ethical standards.
Therefore, to explain what Ethics means at IroneX Machines, we have written a code of conduct. This document is the foundation for our behavior and gives all our stakeholders a reference point. You can read our Code of Conduct click here.
We also believe it is important that employees and third parties can report any actual or suspected abuses and irregularities that take place at IroneX Machines Group B.V. or any of its related parties. That's why we have a whistleblowing policy and procedure in place.
Integrity and compliance with internal and external rules is of the highest priority for IroneX Machines. Our aim is to prevent any violations of these values and rules, however, for the violations that do occur, it is essential that these are identified, clarified, and eliminated. Any (suspected dangers of) violations within IroneX Machines with major or social consequences can be reported via our whistleblower form. In principle, this concerns dangerous, immoral or illegal practices that transcend the level of a single case or a few personal cases, for instance because of the seriousness of the situation, its scope or its structural character. Reports can be made by persons in a work-related context with IroneX Machines at any time. Information received through this channel is thoroughly investigated and resolved depending on the type of violation. The whistleblower system ensures that both the whistleblowers as well as the persons implicated are protected. An investigation only is started after a very careful examination of the facts and a reasonable suspicion of a regulatory violation. The entire process is strictly confidential, secret, fair and conducted sensitively.
