The Code of Conduct reflects our changing business environment and growth; it applies to everyone who acts on behalf of Emirates Steel including employees, executive officers, agents, consultants, contract workers and interns. In addition to governing conduct amongst our employees, it governs the conduct between our employees and our customers, suppliers, vendors, contractors, agents and competitors.

The Code of Conduct is our fingerprint in business; we earn credibility with our customers, business partners, business providers and co-workers by keeping our commitments, acting with honesty and integrity, and pursuing our goals solely through honorable conduct. You may never violate this Code or any Company policy under any circumstances. If you should be coerced into such an act, you are responsible to report the offence to your manager, VP and Human Resources Department.

All the Company employees are responsible for reporting any acts that are in violation of the Code of Conduct. If an employee witnesses an act that is unsafe, unethical or unprofessional and could in any way, jeopardize the integrity, reputation, or safety of the Company or staff, it is his / her responsibility to report it.

Employees can report in confidence to their Manager, the offender's Manager, concerned AVP, VP and SVP or to the Human Resources - Employee Relations and Customer Services Section Head for violations / circumstances in violation of the Code of Conduct.

Employees can also report any violations in related to the Code of Conduct Policy by email to Human Resources - Employee Relations and Customer Services Section Head on "codeofconductviolation@esi-steel.com".

Similarly, you may never interfere with an investigation conducted by the Company, neither should you disclose nor discuss an investigation with unauthorized persons.

Failure to comply with any provision of the Code or Company policy is a serious violation, and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination and in some circumstances criminal charges. These consequences apply not only to the employee who violates the Code, but to those who condone misconduct, fail to report or take reasonable measures to prevent, detect and address misconduct. Violators will also include those who may seek to retaliate against those who, in good faith, report potential misconduct.

Directors and the Human Resources Department can advise us and help make the appropriate decisions concerning conduct in work and in business. If you are uncertain if an action or choice may be a violation of the Code, it is your responsibility to check before making a decision to act.
