Code of Conduct | DA-Group

Our Code of Conduct – How We Act

At DA‑Group, acting responsibly, ethically and transparently is a fundamental part of our everyday operations. Our Code of Conduct defines the principles and standards that guide how we work, how we treat one another, and how we interact with customers, partners, suppliers and society at large.

We expect all our employees, management, and business partners to act in accordance with these principles.

Our Core Values

Our way of working is guided by five core values that reflect our commitment to responsible business:

Integrity and transparency
Respect
Fairness
Reliability
Professional excellence

These values form the basis for our decision‑making and our behavior in all business situations.

Compliance with Laws and Ethical Business Practices

We conduct our business in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in both domestic and international operations. We are committed to fair competition, accurate financial reporting, and respectful use of intellectual property.

We maintain a zero‑tolerance approach to bribery, corruption and improper business practices. Conflicts of interest must be avoided, and all business decisions must be made objectively and ethically.

Respect for People and Human Rights

We are committed to respecting human rights and providing fair, lawful and respectful working conditions.

At DA‑Group:

We do not accept forced labor or child labor.
Employment is based on free choice, and overtime work is not coerced.
All employees are treated equally, without discrimination, harassment or abuse.
Compensation, working hours, rest periods and benefits comply with legal requirements.
Employees’ rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining are respected.

We expect our suppliers and partners to follow these same principles in their own operations.

Health, Safety and Well‑Being at Work

The health, safety and well‑being of our employees are a top priority.

We provide a safe and healthy working environment by:

Complying with all occupational health and safety laws and regulations
Conducting regular risk assessments and workplace safety reviews
Maintaining active cooperation with occupational health services
Promoting well‑being at work through early support and employee well‑being programs

We continuously work to improve safety culture and prevent workplace accidents.

Environmental Responsibility

We recognize our responsibility to protect the environment and minimize the environmental impact of our operations.

We:

Comply with all applicable environmental laws and permit requirements
Manage waste responsibly and promote effective waste sorting
Handle hazardous materials safely
Consider environmental impacts in facility design and maintenance
Operate under a certified environmental management system (ISO 14001)

We expect our suppliers and subcontractors to demonstrate similar environmental responsibility.

Confidentiality, Data Protection and Information Security

Protecting confidential information and intellectual property is essential to our business.

We ensure confidentiality and information security through:

Clear contractual obligations covering confidentiality, intellectual property and non‑competition
Security clearance and access controls at our premises
Information security training and onboarding for all employees
Non‑disclosure agreements with partners when required

Speaking Up and Reporting Concerns

We encourage open communication and responsible behavior.

Any suspected or questionable conduct must be reported through established internal channels. All concerns are handled confidentially, carefully and without retaliation. Speaking up helps us maintain trust, integrity and compliance in all our operations.

Commitment to Our Partners

Our Code of Conduct also applies to our suppliers and partners. We expect them to act lawfully, ethically and responsibly and reserve the right to audit compliance. Violations of our Code of Conduct may result in termination of cooperation.

Our Code of Conduct reflects our commitment to responsible, ethical and sustainable business — today and in the future.
