Code of Ethics

Code of Ethics

What is the Code?

MFC Group is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations. MFC’s Code of Ethics (The Code) states the Group’s stance on integrity and legal compliance. It defines the behavior we want to promote, determines proper business conduct and directs how we can identify potential misconduct. It is important that we read, understand and follow the Code. In doing so, we all do our part to ensure the success of MFC

The Code is derived from the Group’s operating values and the “MFC Spirit”. The main elements of the MFC Spirit are:

• Loyalty – Two-way loyalty between employees and management.
• Quality Services – Commitment to quality service and a willingness to go the extra mile.
• Valuing of People – Demonstrating care for the interest of customers, suppliers and all who do work for MFC.
• Relationships – Building thriving relationships with customers and suppliers through long-term commitments and face-to-face contact.
• Honesty – Communicating with customers, suppliers and all those who work for MFC in an honest manner.
• Compliance – Full compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and internal MFC policies.
  
  

Who does the Code apply to?

The Code is a guide for action, not just words, and sets out the minimum standard of conduct we expect from any party working for or representing MFC.

In particular, the Code applies to all employees, customers, suppliers, subcontractors and consultants. It applies to all transactions, large or small, and drives the behavior expected of every employee in every MFC company in the conduct of its business, at all times.

Failure to abide by the Code may result in disciplinary action.

How the Code applies?

The Code addresses five key areas:

1. Global Corporate Ethics
2. MFC Customers
3. MFC Employees, Suppliers, Subcontractors and Consultants
4. Community and Environment
5. Anti-trust and Competition

MFC Employees, Suppliers, Subcontractors and Consultants

MFC is dedicated over the long term to creating a more sustainable environment through the development of effective recycling and waste management policies and practices. MFC believes that sustainability is both an environmental and business imperative.

MFC employees recognize the importance of contributing to the well-being and development of the communities in which they work, operating their facilities in a manner that promotes the health, safety and security of their employees, suppliers and the general public.

Anti-Trust and Competition

MFC companies support free enterprise and seek to compete fairly, ethically and within the framework of applicable competition laws. MFC does not engage in any conduct that would unfairly diminish competition within its business field or enter into any formal or informal agreements that may restrict competition.

Supporting Policies

Our commitment to integrity includes responsible handling of gifts and entertainment, avoiding conflicts of interest, preventing bribery, money laundering and sanctions breaches, conducting due diligence on third parties and speaking up through our whistleblowing channels.
