ITSM CENTER d.o.o. makes it clear that employees are encouraged to speak up about potential conduct violations. The company’s code of ethical conduct starts with a “culture of accountability” section that lists out scenarios where disciplinary action is needed:
- Violating or asking anyone else to violate the law, this Code or other Company policies
- Failing to report a known or suspected violation
- Retaliating against someone for reporting an ethics concern or suspected violation of the law, this Code or other Company policies
- Failing to demonstrate leadership and diligence to ensure compliance with the law, this Code or other Company policies
- Knowingly making a false allegation
- Failing to cooperate fully in an investigation
These points reaffirm the responsibility of employees, management and company leaders to uphold the code.
