Code of Conduct
ACS-DOBFAR
Board of Directors
of 23/10/2012
The success of one company is based on values of transparency, credibility and
loyalty, principles that represent the heritage of a company: its reputation.
ACS Dobfar SPA, due to the importance of its business for the chemical and
pharmaceutical industry and everything else provided in the corporate scope, for the
strategic role it plays, has to build its growth on a solid reputation, in compliance with
the values of honesty and fairness, in every process of daily work.
ACSD contributes to the civil, cultural and economic development of the local
community in which it operates.
The principles that should guide ACSD operations are those of strict observance of
the laws, fair competition, respect for the legitimate interests of customers, suppliers,
employees, shareholders, institutions and the community.
Due to the complexity of the situations in which ACSD operates, each corporate
behaviour must be related to these principles. It's important to clearly define the set
of values that ACSD recognizes, accepts, endorses and applies to all levels, without
any distinctions or exceptions.
For these reasons, the "Code of Conduct" has been draft and approved by the Board
of Directors on its meeting of 23/10/2012.
The Code of Conduct is combined, with the utmost harmony and unity of purpose,
with the Corporate Policy, already in force in the ACSD plants, in terms of Safety and
Environment in the corporate sites.
I want all employees to address their behaviour and conduct their activities in
accordance with a constant and strict observance of the principles and values
contained in this document, as well as the Board of Directors and the Board of
Auditors are committed to do.
The President
