Adform takes business ethics standards and principles seriously. Therefore, we have not only established internal policies such as acode of business conduct and ethics policy and an internal anti-bribery policy, but also implemented compulsory trainings on the above-mentioned guidelines. In addition, Adform operates an external managed whistleblower protection policy, providing employees, contractors, directors and vendors with right to report any items subject to the whistleblower protection policy in a safe and confidential manner.

Vendors are expected to adhere to the following principles:

Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption

Refrain from engaging in corruption, bribery, inducement and/or any other similar activity with Adform, other companies, any officials or other parties;
Comply with all relevant laws, rules and regulations in regards to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, counterterrorism and alike.

Gifts and gratuities

Not provide or promise to Adform’s employees anything of value including, but not limited to money, entertainment, gifts, discounts and/or any other monetary advantage that may be treated as a bribe and would lead the recipient to violate relevant laws and Adform’s policies. In case Vendor would like to express gratitude with anything of value, exceeding EUR 100, receipt of such should be approved by Adform’s SVP, General Counsel or Adform’s Chief Financial Officer.

Conflicts of interest

Recognize and refrain from engaging in situations where conflicts of interest can occur. In the given relationship between Vendor and Adform, a conflict of interest implies Vendor not being impartial while working with or on behalf of Adform. While it is not possible to describe every situation, Vendor (including its employees, directors and officers) must never use or attempt to use their position with the Company to obtain personal benefits (including benefits for its employees, directors, officers and members of their families).

Fair trade practices and sanction control

Refrain from engaging in any abusive trade practices such as price fixing, abuse of a dominant position and other prohibited anti-competitive behavior defined as such by local, EU and international authorities and organizations.

Abide by all sanctions laws or trade embargoes adopted by the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
