Elevating Design and Commercial Excellence with Integrity
At Katherine Frank Creative, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of ethics and integrity in conjunction with our renowned design expertise. All of our employees, contractors and vendors comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the regions where we operate, in addition to our own internal policies and procedures. This policy outlines our expectations regarding business conduct and compliance with respect to corruption, extortion, and bribery.
Prohibition of Corruption, Extortion, and Bribery
Gifts and Entertainment with Prudence
While we acknowledge the value of fostering relationships through the exchange of gifts and entertainment, we remain vigilant to ensure that such practices do not cast doubt on our integrity or impartiality. We therefore do not offer, give, or accept gifts or entertainment that are excessive, lavish, or inappropriate, or that could be perceived as an attempt to influence business decisions. We maintain thorough records of all gifts and entertainment transactions, both given and received.
Due Diligence and Risk Management
In alignment with our values, we conduct due diligence on all third parties, including suppliers, agents, and consultants, before entering into any business relationships with them. We routinely perform comprehensive risk assessments to evaluate the potential for corruption, extortion, and bribery in each of our business relationships, allowing us to implement appropriate measures to mitigate these risks.
Reporting and Investigation
We strongly encourage all members of our team, contractors, and partners to promptly report any suspected or actual violations of this policy or any other relevant policies or laws. Every report is subjected to a thorough and impartial investigation, followed by the application of suitable corrective actions to rectify any transgressions.
Continuous Learning and Open Communication
As part of our commitment to ethical conduct and compliance, we provide regular training to all team members, contractors, and partners, ensuring they remain well-informed about this policy and relevant regulations and laws. We maintain an open channel of communication regarding these policies to maintain clear expectations regarding ethical conduct and compliance to all individuals associated with Katherine Frank Creative.
