Ethics

Our Commitment

At Rob Carr, we are dedicated to conducting our microtunnelling operations with the highest standards of ethical behavior and regulatory compliance. We believe that integrity and ethical conduct form the cornerstone of sustainable business success and are essential to maintaining the trust of our stakeholders.

Our Principles

Our ethics and compliance framework is guided by core principles that shape our business practices and organisational culture. We operate with honesty, transparency, and accountability in all business activities while complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in every jurisdiction where we operate. Our organisation maintains zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, and fraudulent practices, and we ensure fair competition by adhering to antitrust regulations. We protect confidential information and respect intellectual property rights in all our business dealings. We avoid conflicts of interest and make decisions based on the best interests of the company. Throughout our operations, we foster a speak-up culture where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation.

Implementation

A comprehensive governance structure, supported by robust internal controls, regular risk assessments, and continuous education programs allow us to effectively implement our principles. Our ethics and compliance program incorporating training for competition law, ethics, code of conduct and anti corruption among others, is designed to prevent, detect, and respond to potential violations across our operations.

Accountability

All employees, contractors, and business partners are expected to adhere to these principles. Our compliance function reports directly to senior management and the board of directors to ensure independent oversight of our ethics program. We regularly monitor and audit our compliance efforts and take appropriate corrective actions when necessary.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously enhancing our ethics and compliance program to address emerging risks and adapt to evolving regulatory environments. We regularly benchmark our practices against industry standards and incorporate lessons learned into our policies and procedures.
