Employees’ responsibility
We all have a responsibility to familiarise ourselves with the ethical guidelines set out in this document. Since they cannot describe the correct course of action in every possible situation, we must use common sense and good judgement in line with the Code of Conduct’s provisions.
If we are uncertain about anything, we ask for advice. Should we become aware of a breach or a potential breach of the Group’s Code of Conduct or applicable laws or regulations, we must report the matter through the Seashore Group’s whistleblowing channel as soon as possible.
We all have a responsibility to contribute to good collegiality. This means taking responsibility for and contributing to the work of the department and its working environment, and not leaving everything up to the manager.
Managers’ responsibility
We must always lead by example, which means that the Group’s ethical guidelines and values are integrated into our personal behaviour and business management practices. We must create a climate of openness and trust in our departments which makes it safe to raise questions and concerns about ethical issues and compliance with our Code of Conduct.
We lead in accordance with the principle be accessible, speak out, look up, build teams and give credit where it is due in order to create a positive social climate in the department and foster good collegiality.
As managers, we must ensure that every employee in our department has completed annual training on our Code of Conduct.
The Group’s responsibility
