Ethics and Compliance

The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is an integral part of corporate governance at the 4iG Group. The Code was drafted with the intention to collect and systematically record the values, principles and ethical standards adopted and pursued by the 4iG Group, as well as the rules of conduct and behaviour expected of its employees.

The purpose of the Code is to prompt employees to fully comply with the rules of employment through its principles and instructions, to regulate the conduct of employees both within the company and in its external relations, and to assist in choosing the right conduct expected in a given situation.

All employees in the 4iG Group are required to know the Code of Ethics and to adhere to its principles.

By issuing this Code of Ethics, the 4iG Group demonstrates to the general public that it conducts its business in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations and that it intends to comply and ensure compliance with the ethical standards.

The 4iG Group’s Code of Conduct for Business Partners is an extract from the 4iG Group’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which contains the ethical standards that we consider particularly important in our business relationships and that we also expect our business partners to adhere to.

The primary purpose of the Rules of Procedure of the Ethics Committee is to define the responsibilities and powers of departments and employees involved in the processes that ensure the forms of conduct prescribed by the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and define the rules of investigation procedures and the rules of operation for the Ethics Committee and the Compliance Officer.

Code of Ethics and Business ConductCode of Ethics for Business PartnersThe Rules of Procedure of the Ethics Committee

The 4iG Group expressly prohibits and is expressly against any form of corruption and is committed to developing and maintaining a corporate culture that is conducive to preventing corruption and detecting possible acts of corruption. The 4iG Group continuously strives to establish anti-corruption best practices in line with industry norms and standards and to train its employees accordingly.

In this regard, 4iG Plc. has implemented MSZ ISO 37001:2019 Anti-Bribery Management System. The main mission of the Compliance function is to operate the Anti-Bribery Management System. We have assessed and identified corruption risks and designed the compliance framework in such a way that the controls in place are proportionate to the corruption risks and are capable of preventing and detecting acts of corruption.

In the 4iG Group’s Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy, we have defined the anti-corruption strategy and the framework for achieving the anti corruption goals in line with the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

The 4iG Group attaches great importance to the detection of all corruption incidents and the threat thereof as soon as possible, therefore the 4iG Group operates reporting channels (e.g. the Ethics and Compliance line available on compliance.4ig.hu) through which employees, partners and clients of the 4iG Group, as well as other persons who are aware of an act of corruption, can report them, even anonymously.

The 4iG Group supports, encourages and expects its employees and, in accordance with the anti-corruption provisions of its contracts, its contractual partners to report any corruption incidents of which they become aware. We believe that the employees, contractors and clients who first become aware of a possible act of corruption or the imminent threat of such an act are key to the detection and prevention of possible acts of corruption and we, therefore, consider it particularly important to facilitate the rapid and direct transmission of relevant information and potential evidence to the person competent and empowered to investigate the matter.

As part of its efforts to operate responsibly and in accordance with money laundering, anticorruption and other relevant legislation, 4iG Plc. is reviewing all of its existing and future contractual relationships in the framework of a supplier qualification process, in order to prevent potential noncompliances and to preserve its reputation. To this end, 4iG Plc. has established a Supplier Qualification System, in the context of which we invite our partners to participate in an annual Pre-Qualification process and a Project Qualification process applicable to certain projects.

The Pre-Qualification of a supplier or subcontractor is mandatory in all cases where the Company intends to enter into a new contract with a given supplier or subcontractor or to request a tender from a given potential supplier or subcontractor and the given (potential) supplier or subcontractor does not yet have a (valid) supplier qualification and is not exempted from pre-qualification. The supplier prequalification and the exemption from the supplier prequalification are valid for 1 year and must be revalidated annually.
