CATMi - CODE OF CONDUCT

The CATMi Code of Conduct is based on the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact’ - http://www.unglobalcompact.org/aboutthegc/thetenprinciples/index.html in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to communicate our common set of ethical values and business principles to our stakeholders and to provide internal guidance. CATMi encourages members and other business partners within its sphere of influence to adopt the principles in this Code of Conduct.

CATMi’s operations in India are based on high ethical standards promoting fair business practices in accordance with applicable laws and complying with the legislation and regulations of the country in which CATMi operates. Where legislation does not provide guidance, CATMi applies its own standards based on its corporate values and culture. In the event of a conflict between legislation and the principles contained in this Code of Conduct, the legislation shall prevail. It is the responsibility of all members to be aware of relevant legislation or to seek legal advice to ensure compliance.
