Akomex Group is fully committed to developing an ethical business that emphasises a balance between making a profit and caring for communities and the environment. Our approach to sustainable management encompasses not only economic, but also social, ethical and environmental aspects, allowing us to manage our business effectively and build sustainable relationships with our stakeholders.
Sustainable goals
It is our policy to continually strive to improve our processes with sustainability in mind. We support innovative solutions to reduce our environmental footprint and increase the efficiency of our operations. By integrating sustainability objectives into our business strategies, we aim to achieve harmony between economic growth, environmental protection and the wellbeing of society.
Integrated Management System Policy
Akomex Group recognises that its Integrated Management System Policy is a key element of our development strategy. It is the foundation upon which our business is built, and its understanding, dissemination and implementation at all levels of the organisation are essential for effectively achieving our goals and gaining customer trust. Our Integrated Management System encompasses quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety issues, allowing us to efficiently manage our business processes, minimise risks and provide our customers with products and services of the highest quality.
Impact on sustainable development
Akomex Group’s Integrated Management System reflects our commitment to sustainable development by integrating environmental and social aspects into our business processes. As a result, we not only minimise the negative impact of our activities on the environment, but also contribute to improving the quality of life of our employees and the local communities in which we operate.
Summary
Our Integrated Management System is not only a tool to meet legal requirements and industry standards, but also a platform for continuous improvement of our practices in line with the principles of sustainable development. We are committed to developing our approach to management in a way that benefits both our business and the environment in which we operate.
At Akomex Group, the ethical principles outlined in our ethical codes are a priority. These codes serve not only as guidelines for conduct, but also as the foundation of our corporate culture, defining our values and standards of behaviour. We place great emphasis on ensuring that all employees and commercial partners adhere to these principles in all aspects of their business.
Akomex Group Ethical Codex
The Ethical Codex we have adopted forms the foundation of both our internal and external relationships. Within this code, we define our values, our expectations of employees and the standards of conduct that underpin our business.
Our Ethical Codex is a document that promotes inclusive behaviour. It serves as the basis for raising and developing the awareness of all Akomex Group employees. This code underpins our Group’s actions and reflects our belief in the importance of adhering to transparent values in modern business. The management and employees of Akomex Group advocate and stand by the principle that our corporate culture is based on values such as equality, integrity, tolerance, transparency and, above all, respect for other people.
Ethical Code of Supplier’s Conduct
The collaboration with our suppliers is based on mutual respect and high ethical standards. We have implemented the Ethical Code of Supplier’s Conduct, which defines the expected behaviour and standards of conduct in our business relationships.
We aim to collaborate exclusively with suppliers who share our values and adhere to our ethical standards.
Supplier auditing and evaluation
We regularly audit and assess our suppliers on an annual basis to verify their compliance with our ethical, environmental and quality standards. This helps to ensure that our partnerships are on a sound footing and that our suppliers are able to meet our expectations in terms of quality, timeliness and legal compliance.
Code for Transport Service Providers
Our priority in logistics is safety, ecology, reliability and legal compliance. We have introduced the Code for Transport Service Providers, which sets out the required standards for the provision of transport services. Suppliers are required to comply with certain standards and to ensure safe and eco-friendly transport conditions.
Summary
We strive to ensure that ethical principles are an integral part of our organisation and influence all decisions made by our employees and business partners. Adhering to these guidelines is a key element in building a strong organisational culture on the path to sustainable success.
As part of Akomex Group’s commitment to sustainable development, we are dedicated to conducting our business in a transparent and integrity-driven manner. Our relationships with customers, business partners and the community are based on the principles of openness, dependability and transparency. We are committed to transparency in our operations and to providing comprehensive information, including financial and non-financial disclosures, about our activities.
In Akomex Group, although not required by Polish law for limited liability companies, we have decided to establish a Supervisory Board and an Audit Committee, which play a crucial role in ensuring effective oversight and accountability. Our Supervisory Board consists of experienced professionals who provide strategic leadership and supervision over the company’s operations, and participate in key decisions regarding development, risk management and monitoring of the Management Board’s activities.
The Audit Committee, operating alongside the Supervisory Board, is an independent oversight body that monitors the audit process, financial reporting and compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards. Its role is to ensure the effective functioning of internal control and audit systems, thereby minimising risk and preventing irregularities.
Financial reporting under IFRS
Our commitment to transparency and integrity in financial reporting leads us to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Our financial statements are audited by a reputable auditing firm, ensuring an independent assessment of our financial results and reporting processes.
Implemented GDPR procedures
At Akomex Group, safeguarding personal data and complying with data protection regulations is a top priority. We have implemented comprehensive procedures in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which cover the collection, storage, processing and deletion of personal data in accordance with applicable legislation. These procedures ensure appropriate data security and respect for the rights of the individuals whose data is involved.
Anti-corruption
At Akomex Group, we do not tolerate any form of corruption or unethical behaviour. We are committed to conducting our business with integrity, adhering to the highest ethical standards and complying with all relevant laws. As part of our dedication to fighting corruption, we implement various measures to eliminate risks, promote transparency and integrate business ethics into our corporate culture.
One of the most important measures in our anti-corruption strategy is the mandatory training of our employees.
Upon completion of the training, employees are required to pass an examination to test their knowledge and understanding of corruption and business ethics. A successful outcome on the exam is certified
by a diploma issued by the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, providing further assurance to both the employee and our organisation that our staff are well equipped to address potential corruption risks.
Whistleblower protection
We are committed to providing a safe and transparent work environment where employees can report irregularities or ethical violations without fear of retaliation. We provide protection for whistleblowers who report irregularities or unethical behaviour. Our procedures for safeguarding whistleblowers are in line with the Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers, also known as the Whistleblower Act, which is an act intended to implement the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 in Poland. This legislation guarantees the confidentiality of reports and ensures that all disclosures are reliably and effectively investigated.
Akomex Group employees who witness violations of the law or the Ethical Codex
may take independent action to investigate the matter by following the internal reporting regulations outlined in the whistleblowing procedure.
Ethical competition
Through the Akomex Group Ethical Codex, we are committed to upholding the principles of fair competition and avoiding any form of unethical behaviour towards competitors. We act in accordance with applicable laws and established ethical standards to ensure fair and transparent market conditions.
Akomex Group strictly complies with applicable laws concerning competition principles. These regulations prohibit formal and informal agreements, ventures or coordinated arrangements between competitors regarding their prices, market shares or customers.
We do not engage in activities that restrict or eliminate competition. We act and set standards that are exemplary.
Summary
Akomex Group is committed to conducting business according to the highest ethical standards, ensuring transparency and integrity in every aspect of our operations. Our codes of ethics and principles of conduct form the foundation of our corporate culture and are crucial for building trust with customers and business partners. Anti-corruption, transparent reporting, whistleblower protection and the continuous improvement of business ethics practices are an integral part of our commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility.
